A woman pushes a 27 kg lawnmower at a steady speed. She exerts a 120 N force in a direction 35◦ below the horizontal. The accele
1 answer:
The vertical force exerted on the lawn is 68.8 N downward
Explanation:
The vertical force exerted by the lawnmower on the lawn is equal to the vertical component of the force applied, therefore:
where
F is the magnitude of the force applied
is the angle between the direction of the force and the horizontal
In this problem:
F = 120 N
Substituting,
where the negative sign means the direction of the force is downward.

Answer:
V = - 0.5 [m/s]
Explanation:
In order to solve this problem, we must use the principle of relative speeds. This is for an observer who is on the edge of the river he can see how the river moves to the left and the woman tries to move to the right but can not since:
That is, the person sees how the woman moves to the left but with avelocity of 0.5 [m/s] to the left
