Complete question is;

You push downward on a trunk at an angle 25° below the horizontal with a force of 750N. if the trunk is on a flat surface and the coefficient of static friction between the surface and the trunk is 0.61, what is the most massive trunk you will be able to move?

Answer:

The most massive trunk is about 81.3 kg

Explanation:

I've attached a free body diagram that depicts this question.

Where;

N = normal force on the trunk

m = mass of the trunk

W = weight of the trunk = mg

F = static frictional force

Using equilibrium of force in vertical direction, we obtain;

N = W + 750 Sin25

N = mg + 750 Sin25    - - - - (eq 1)

Now, we are given that Coefficient of static friction: μ = 0.61

static frictional force is given by the formula;

F = μN

Since N = mg + 750 Sin25, we now have;

F = (0.61) (mg + 750 Sin25)   - - - (eq 2)

Along the horizontal direction, for the trunk to move, force equation must be;

F = 750 Cos25

Thus, we now have;

750 Cos25 = 0.61(mg + 750 Sin25)

g = 9.81.

So,we now have ;

750 Cos25 = 0.61(m(9.81) + 750Sin25)

750 × 0.9063 = 0.61(9.81m + (750 × 0.4226))

Divide both sides by 0.61;

(750 × 0.9063)/0.61 = 9.81m + 316.95

1114.3 = 9.81m + 316.95

1114.3 - 316.95 = 9.81m

797.35 = 9.81m

m = 797.35/9.81

m = 81.3 kg

A large, cylindrical water tank with diameter 3.60 m is on a platform 2.00 m above the ground. The vertical tank is open to the
zysi [14]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the geometry of a cylindrical tank and its respective definition.

The volume of a tank is given by

V = \frac{\pi d^2}{4}h

Where

d = Diameter

h = Height

Considering that there are two stages, let's define the initial and final volume as,

V_0 = \frac{\pi d^2}{4}H

V_f = \frac{\pi d^2}{4}h

We know as well by definition that

1gal = 3.785*10^{-3}m^3

Then we have for the statement that

V_f = V_0 -1gal

V_f = V_0 - 3.785*10^{-3}

Replacing the previous data

\frac{\pi d^2}{4}h = \frac{\pi d^2}{4}H- 3.785*10^{-3}

\frac{\pi (3.6)^2}{4}h = \frac{\pi (3.6)^2}{4}(2)- 3.785*10^{-3}

Solving to get h,

h = 1.99963m

Therefore the change is

\Delta h = H-h

\Delta h = 2- 1.99963

\Delta h = 3.7*10^{-4}m=0.37mm

Therefore te change in the height of the water in the tank is 0.37mm

The nucleus of most atoms is composed of which of the following sub-atomic particles? (A) tightly packed neutrons
solmaris [256]

Answer:

(B) tightly packed protons and neutrons

Explanation:

  • Nucleus of any atom is the dense central part of any atom.
  • It consists of two sub-atomic particle namely proton and neutron.
  • These sub-atomic parts are tightly packed in nucleus which makes the nucleus dense .
  • This dense nucleus is responsible for most of the mass of atom.
  • The atomic mass for any atom is decided by sum of  the mass of proton and neutron

Thus, correct answer is

(B) tightly packed protons and neutrons

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

v_{s}=65.2km/h

Explanation:

Given data

Flight distance S=4890 km

Time difference Δt=t₂-t₁=40 min

Air speed of plane=980 km/h

To find

Speed of jet stream

Solution

When moving in the same direction as the jet stream time taken as t₁=d/(v+vs),v is velocity of plane and vs is velocity of plane

While moving in opposite direction t₂=d/(v+vs)

So

t_{2}-t_{1}=\frac{d}{(v-v_{s}) } - \frac{d}{(v+v_{s}) }\\t_{2}-t_{1}=\frac{d(v+v_{s})-d(v-v_{s})}{(v-v_{s})(v+v_{s})} \\t_{2}-t_{1}=\frac{2dv_{s}}{(v)^{2} -(v_{s})^{2} }\\0.666667h=\frac{2(4890km)v_{s}}{(980km/h)^{2} -(v_{s})^{2} }\\0.666667((980km/h)^{2} -(v_{s})^{2})=9780v_{s}\\640267-0.666667(v_{s})^{2}-9780v_{s}=0\\0.666667(v_{s})^{2}+9780v_{s}-640267=0

Apply quadratic formula to solve for vs

So

v_{s}=65.2km/h

If the net force acting on a stationary object is zero then the object will
Drupady [299]
If the net force is zero, then there is no acceleration, which means no change in velocity. The velocity starts at zero, so it must remain at zero. Therefore, the object will not move.
