A small box is held in place against a rough vertical wall by someone pushing on it with a force directed upward at 27 ∘ above t

he horizontal. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the box and wall are 0.40 and 0.30, respectively. The box slides down unless the applied force has magnitude 18 N. What is the mass of the box in kilograms?

Answer:

Explanation:

Applied force, F = 18 N

Coefficient of static friction, μs = 0.4

Coefficient of kinetic friction, μs = 0.3

θ = 27°

Let N be the normal reaction of the wall acting on the block and m be the mass of block.

Resolve the components of force F.

As the block is in the horizontal equilibrium, so

F Cos 27° = N

N = 18 Cos 27° = 16.04 N

As the block does not slide so it means that the syatic friction force acting on the block balances the downwards forces acting on the block .

The force of static friction is μs x N = 0.4 x 16.04 = 6.42 N   .... (1)

The vertically downward force acting on the block is mg - F Sin 27°

                                                      = mg - 18 Sin 27° = mg - 8.172    ... (2)

Now by equating the forces from equation (1) and (2), we get

mg - 8.172 = 6.42

mg = 14.592

m x 9.8 = 14.592

m = 1.49 kg

Thus, the mass of block is 1.5 kg.

When water change into ice it contracts or expand<br> plz answer fast..
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:Yes, water indeed expands when it changes form from liquid to solid. And this is because water has a property called “hydrogen bonds”, and these bonds occur between each water molecule. But when water is in a liquid form these hydrogen bonds break more easily and occur less frequently. When the temperature drops the kinetic energy also drops, which in turn makes hydrogen bonds form more frequently. So the water molecules form a lattice, which is less dense than regular liquid water.

a cyclist coasting down a 5.0 ◦ incline at a constant speed of 6.0 km/h because of air resistance. If the total mass of the bicy
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

F_{net}= 85.41\ N

Explanation:

mass of the bicycle + cyclist = 50 kg

constant speed = 6 km/h

a cyclist coasting down a 5.0° incline

the downward velocity is constant, so net acceleration must be zero

the air drag must be equal to gravitational force downward along the ramp

F_a = mg sin \theta  

now for upward motion

F_{net} = mg sin \theta + air\ drag

F_{net} = mg sin \theta + mg sin \theta

F_{net} = 2 mg sin \theta

F_{net} = 2\times 50 \times 9.8 sin 5^0

F_{net}= 85.41\ N

Astronomers have found water on mars.
vodomira [7]

The thin atmosphere of Mars is thought to be due to the planet's lack of a magnetic field, which has allowed the Solar wind to blow away much of the gas the planet once had. Venus, despite still having a thick atmosphere of CO2, surprisingly has a similar problem
