Answer:

Fy=107.2 N

Explanation:

Conceptual analysis

For a right triangle :

sinβ = y/h formula (1)

cosβ = x/h formula (2)

x: side adjacent to the β angle

y: opposite side of the β angle

h: hypotenuse

Known data

h = T = 153.8 N : rope tension

β= 44.2°with the horizontal (x)

Problem development

We apply the formula (1) to calculate Ty : vertical component of the rope force.

sin44.2° = Ty/153.8 N

Ty = (153.8 N ) *(sen44.2°)= 107.2 N directed down

for equilibrium system

Fy= Ty=107.2 N

Fy=107.2 N upward component of the force acting on the stake

Lena [83]

Answer:

Pressure will be $6072449.952Pa$

Explanation:

We have given mass of the women m = 65 kg

Radius of the heels r = 0.578 cm = 0.00578 m

We have to find the pressure

We know that pressure is given by

$P=\frac{F}{A}=\frac{mg}{A}$

So force F = mg = 65×9.8 = 637 N

Area $A=\pi r^2=3.14\times 0.00578^2=1.049\times 10^{-4}m^2$

So pressure $p=\frac{637}{1.049\times 10^{-4}}=6072449.952Pa$

A person throws a balloon straight down above level ground. The balloon bounces back up into the air. Drag force is significant

love history [14]

Explanation:

a) Balloon is being thrown down and is speeding up;

mg > $F_drag$

b) Balloon is in the air on its way down and moving with constant speed.

$F_drag$ =mg

c) The Balloon is on the ground and rest instantaneously

mg = Normal

d) Balloon is moving slowly downward;

e) Because, at the peak of trajectory drag force is 0.

Drag force = 0
