A box is at rest on a table. What can you say about the forces acting on the box?

You can tell a lot about an object that's not moving,
and also a lot about the forces acting on it:

==> If the box is at rest on the table, then it is not accelerating.

==> Since it is not accelerating, I can say that the forces on it are balanced.

==> That means that the sum of all forces acting on the box is zero,
and the effect of all the forces acting on it is the same as if there were
no forces acting on it at all.

==> This in turn means that all of the horizontal forces are balanced,
AND all of the vertical forces are balanced.

Horizontal forces:
sliding friction, somebody pushing the box

All of the forces on this list must add up to zero. So ...

(sliding friction force) = (pushing force), in the opposite direction.

If nobody pushing the box, then sliding friction force = zero.

Vertical forces:
gravitational force (weight of the box, pulling it down)
normal force (table pushing the box up)

All of the forces on this list must add up to zero, so ...

(Gravitational force down) + (normal force up) = zero

(Gravitational force down) = -(normal force up) .

In a vertical relationship between an employee and supervisor, who must do most of the adjusting?
maks197457 [2]
Wouldn't it be the employee? Because the employee has to adjust to the needs of his/her supervisor. If the supervisor wants 100 boxes the employee has to make those 100 boxes and so on and so forth.

The correct answer is: waxing gibbous, 3 days

Explanation:

Waning quarter moon: hair removal time and bangs cuts.

The growing quarter as a moment of growth, development and evolution. On the contrary, the waning moon is associated with a time of completion, debugging or liquidation of pending issues.

We must take advantage of the influence of the lunar cycle in our favor according to the action we are going to take. If you have trouble growing your hair, try to go to the hairdresser in a crescent moon: it will grow faster. It is no nonsense. Since I cut my bangs to the Cleopatra, the touch-ups last me for another 1-1.5 weeks. As I reviewed the bangs in a growing room, in just a couple of weeks I was returning to the hairdresser.

That affects hair removal. There are many people who take appointments to the beautician to shave by consulting the lunar calendar. The hair removal done as soon as the dwindling is the best because it lasts longer, lasts for another week until the next appointment.

A mountain climber, in the process of crossing between two cliffs by a rope, pauses to rest. She weighs 514 N. As the drawing sh
n200080 [17]

Answer:

Part a)

T_L = 155.4 N

Part b)

T_R = 379 N

Explanation:

As we know that mountain climber is at rest so net force on it must be zero

So we will have force balance in X direction

T_L cos65 = T_R cos80

T_L = 0.41 T_R

now we will have force balance in Y direction

mg = T_L sin65 + T_Rsin80

514 = 0.906T_L + 0.985T_R

Part a)

so from above equations we have

514 = 0.906T_L + 0.985(\frac{T_L}{0.41})

514 = 3.3 T_L

T_L = 155.4 N

Part b)

Now for tension in right string we will have

T_R = \frac{T_L}{0.41}

T_R = 379 N
