Answer: 42.49
Explanation:
To solve this, we need to keep in mind the following:
While the sphere hangs it is under the effect of gravity. It is creating a Angle of 90° taking the roof as a reference.
Gravity can be noted as a Acceleration Vector. The magnitud for Earth's Gravity is a constant: 9.81
The acceleration of the Van will affect the sphere also, but this accelaration will be on the X-axis and perpendicular to the gravity. Because this two vectors are taking action under the sphere they will create a angle. This angle can be measured as a relation of the two magnitudes.
Tangent (∅) = Opossite Side / Adyacent Side
By trigonometry, we know the previous formula. This formula allows us to find the Tangent of a angle as a relation between the two perpendiculars magnitudes. In this case the Opossite Side will be the Gravity Accelaration, while the Adyancent Side is the Van's Acceleration.
(1) Tangent (∅) = Gravity's Acceleration (G) / Van's Acceleration (Va)
Searching for the Va in (1)
Va = G/Tan(∅)
Where ∅ in this case is equal to 13.0°
Va = 9.81 / Tan(13.0°)
Va = 42.49
The vans acceleration need to be 42.49 to create an angle of 13° with the Van's Roof
The force of attraction between two objects can be illustrated using Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation.
The relation between the different parameters is shown in the attached image.
Now, from the relation, we can deduce that the force between the two objects is directly proportional to the masses of the two objects.
This means that, if the mass of one object is doubled, then the force between the two objects will also be doubled.
