If a force of 250N is applied to a piano being pushed up a ramp at an angle of 18degrees above the horizontal, what force is bei
ng applied to lift the piano?
1 answer:
answer
77.25 N
explanation
(look at picture for free body diagram)
the force on the piano has both vertical and horizontal components, and since the questions asks about the force to lift the piano, we want to find the vertical component
we can use trigonometry where sinA = opposite/hypotenuse
A = 18 degrees
hypotenuse = 250 N
sin18 = opposite (vertical component) / 250
vertical component = sin18 * 250
= 77.25 N

Explanation:
It is given that,
The volume of a right circular cylindrical,
We know that the volume of the cylinder is given by :
............(1)
The upper area is given by :
For maximum area, differentiate above equation wrt r such that, we get :
r = 1.83 m
Dividing equation (1) with r such that,
Hence, this is the required solution.
