Since the formula for the circumference of a circle is pi x d or pi x 2r. The radius is a straight line from the center of the circle to the outer part of it, which is exactly what the spokes are to the wheel. So we take the length of the spoke, which is the radius, and use it in our equation. pi times 2 times the length of the spoke will give us our answer.
You would use answer 2O g/cm3
Answer:
The magnitude and direction of the resultant force are approximately 599.923 newtons and 36.405°.
Explanation:
First, we must calculate the resultant force (
), in newtons, by vectorial sum:
(1)
Second, we calculate the magnitude of the resultant force by Pythagorean Theorem:


Let suppose that direction of the resultant force is an standard angle. According to (1), the resultant force is set in the first quadrant:

Where
is the direction of the resultant force, in sexagesimal degrees.

The magnitude and direction of the resultant force are approximately 599.923 newtons and 36.405°.

Question:
A 0.5 kg mass moves 40 centimeters up the incline shown in the figure below. The vertical height of the incline is 7 centimeters.
What is the change in the potential energy (in Joules) of the mass as it goes up the incline?
If a force of 1.0 N pulled up and parallel to the surface of the incline is required to raise the mass back to the top of the incline, how much work is done by that force?
Given Information:
Mass = m = 0.5 kg
Horizontal distance = d = 40 cm = 0.4 m
Vertical distance = h = 7 cm = 0.07 m
Normal force = Fn = 1 N
Required Information:
Potential energy = PE = ?
Work done = W = ?
Answer:
Potential energy = 0.343 Joules
Work done = 0.39 N.m
Explanation:
The potential energy is given by
PE = mgh
where m is the mass of the object, h is the vertical distance and g is the gravitational acceleration.
PE = 0.5*9.8*0.07
PE = 0.343 Joules
As you can see in the attached image
sinθ = opposite/hypotenuse
sinθ = 0.07/0.4
θ = sin⁻¹(0.07/0.4)
θ = 10.078°
The horizontal component of the normal force is given by
Fx = Fncos(θ)
Fx = 1*cos(10.078)
Fx = 0.984 N
Work done is given by
W = Fxd
where d is the horizontal distance
W = 0.984*0.4
W = 0.39 N.m
