Answer:
F = 3.6 kN, direction is 9.6º to the North - East
Explanation:
The force is a vector, so one method to find the solution is to work with the components of the vector as scalars and then construct the resulting vector.
Let's use trigonometry to find the component of the forces, let's use a reference frame where the x-axis coincides with the East and the y-axis coincides with the North.
Wind
X axis
F₁ = 2.50 kN
Tide
cos 30 = F₂ₓ / F₂
sin 30 = F_{2y} / F₂
F₂ₓ = F₂ cos 30
F_{2y} = F₂ sin 30
F₂ₓ = 1.20cos 30 = 1.039 kN
F_{2y} = 1.20 sin 30 = 0.600 kN
the resultant force is
X axis
Fₓ = F₁ₓ + F₂ₓ
Fₓ = 2.50 +1.039
Fₓ = 3,539 kN
F_y = F_{2y}
F_y = 0.600
to find the vector we use the Pythagorean theorem
F = 
F = 
F = 3,589 kN
the address is
tan θ = F_y / Fₓ
θ = tan⁻¹ 
θ = tan⁻¹ 
0.6 / 3.539
θ = 9.6º
the resultant force to two significant figures is
F = 3.6 kN
the direction is 9.6º to the North - East
Question: A loader sack of total mass
is l000 grams falls down from
the floor of a lorry 200 cm high
Calculate the workdone by the
gravity of the load.
Answer:
19.6 Joules
Explanation:
Applying
W = mgh........................ Equation 1
Where W = Workdone by gravity on the load, m = mass of the loader sack, h = height, g = acceleration due to gravity
From the question,
Given: m = 1000 grams = (1000/1000) kilogram = 1 kg, h = 200 cm = 2 m
Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²
Substitute these values into equation 1
W = (1×2×9.8)
W = 19.6 Joules
Hence the work done by gravity on the load is 19.6 Joules
Assuming that the students
worldwide are being considered, because of the extremely large population, this
can be considered as a binomial distribution. A normal distribution is used most
usually as a fair approximation of the binomial. The mean is the expectation,
therefore:<span>
E[x] = np = (16)(0.22) = 3.52
<span>μ = 3.52 </span></span>
The force acting on the object is constant, so the acceleration of the object is also constant. By definition of average acceleration, this acceleration was
<em>a</em> = ∆<em>v</em> / ∆<em>t</em> = (6 m/s - 0) / (1.7 s) ≈ 3.52941 m/s²
By Newton's second law, the magnitude of the force <em>F</em> is proportional to the acceleration <em>a</em> according to
<em>F</em> = <em>m a</em>
where <em>m</em> is the object's mass. Solving for <em>m</em> gives
<em>m</em> = <em>F</em> / <em>a</em> = (10 N) / (3.52941 m/s²) ≈ 2.8 kg
