A mountain climber, in the process of crossing between two cliffs by a rope, pauses to rest. She weighs 555 N. As the drawing sh

ows, she is closer to the left cliff than to the right cliff, with the result that the tensions in the left and right sides of the rope are not the same. Find the tension in the rope to the left of the mountain climber.

Complete Question

The diagram for this question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The tension in the rope on the left of the mountain climber is $T_a = 1106 \ N$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The weight of the mountain climber is m = 555 N

Generally from the diagram , the total amount of force acting on the rope along the vertical axis at equilibrium is mathematically represented as

$T_a* cos 65 -555 + T_b * cos(85) = 0$

Here $T_a, T_b$ are the tension of the rope on the left and on the right hand side

So

$0.423T_a + 0.0871T_b = 555$

=> $0.0871T_b = 555 - 0.423T_a$

=> $T_b = \frac{555 - 0.423T_a}{0.0871}$

Generally from the diagram , the total amount of force acting on the rope along the horizontal axis at equilibrium is mathematically represented as

$T_a* sin 65 - T_b * sin(85) = 0$

=> $0.9063T_a - 0.9962T_b = 0$

=> $0.9063T_a = 0.9962T_b$

=> $0.9063T_a = 0.9962[\frac{555 - 0.423T_a}{0.0871}]$

=> $0.9063T_a = [\frac{552.891 - 0.421T_a}{0.0871}]$

=> $0.0789T_a = [552.891 - 0.421T_a$

=> $0.4999T_a = 552.891$

=> $T_a = 1106 \ N$

A buoy is a floating device that can have many purposes, but often as a locator for ships. Collin constructs a hollow metal buoy

Yuri [45]

Answer:

A) since the density of the buoy is half the density of sea water when the buoy is at rest on an ocean half of the buoy will be submerged in water

B )angular frequency ( w ) = $\sqrt{\frac{3g}{h} }$

c ) h = 1.34 m ( 4 $\pi ^{2}$ / 3g )

Explanation:

A) since the density of the buoy is half the density of sea water when the buoy is at rest on an ocean half of the buoy will be submerged in water this is because the substances with lesser density floats when placed in a substance with a higher density

B ) when the Buoy is at rest ( t = 0 ) and is then pushed down calculate angular frequency ( w ) of small oscillations in terms of the given variables

volume of cone = hA /3.

h = height of cone, A = Base Area.

therefore the total volume of the Buoy above water level ( at rest )

= ( $\pi r^{2} * \frac{h}{3}$ ) * 2 = $\frac{\pi r^{2} h }{6}$

The part of the buoy immersed in water = x

then the net upward force will be

fb ( force of Buoy ) = fg ( force of gravity )

note force = Mass * Acceleration

force of buoy = $\frac{\alpha }{2} *$ $\frac{\pi r^{2} }{h}$ * a = ( force of gravity ) $\alpha * T\frac{r^{2} }{4} * x * g$

therefore a = $\frac{3g}{h} * x$

angular frequency ( w ) = $\sqrt{\frac{3g}{h} }$

C ) height of the each cone

$\frac{2\pi }{w} = 1$ therefore w = 2 $\pi$

back to the angular frequency : $\frac{3g}{h} = 4\pi ^{2}$

therefore h = 1.34 m ( 4 $\pi ^{2}$ / 3g )

A helicopter pulls upward by means of a rope on a 250 kg crate to lift it UNIFORMLY. What is the net force on the crate?

Cloud [144]

Answer:

The net force = 0

Explanation:

The given information includes;

The mass of the crate = 250 kg

The way the helicopter lifts the crate = Uniformly (constant rate (speed), no acceleration)

In order to pull the crate upwards, the helicopter has to provide a force equivalent to the weight of the crate keeping the helicopter on the ground.

The weight of the crate = The mass of the crate × The acceleration due gravity acting on the crate

The weight of the crate, $F_w$ ↓ = 250 kg × 9.81 m/s² = 2,452.5 N

The force the helicopter should provide to just lift the crate, $F_{(helicopter)}$ ↑ = The weight of the crate = 2,452.5 N

The net force, $F_{(net)}$ = $F_{(helicopter)}$ ↑ - $F_w$ ↓ = 2,452.5 N - 2,452.5 N = 0

The net force = 0.

What is potential energy

valkas [14]

Answer:

Potential energy is energy that is stored – or conserved - in an object or substance. This stored energy is based on the position, arrangement or state of the object or substance. You can think of it as energy that has the 'potential' to do work.

A force of 45 newtons is applied on an object, moving it 12 meters away in the same direction as the force. What is the magnitud

NARA [144]

<h2>Answer: 540 J</h2>

Explanation:

The Work $W$ done by a Force $F$ refers to the release of potential energy from a body that is moved by the application of that force to overcome a resistance along a path.

Now, when the applied force is constant and the direction of the force and the direction of the movement are parallel, the equation to calculate it is:

$W=(F)(d)$ (1)

In this case both (the force and the distance in the path) are parallel (this means they are in the same direction), so the work $W$ performed is the product of the force exerted to push the box $F=45N$ by the distance traveled $d=12m$ .

Hence:

$W=(45N)(12m)$ (2)

$W=540Nm=540J$

Importance of liquid pressure

trapecia [35]

Answer:

hope it helps...

Explanation:

Both the water in the ocean and the air in the atmosphere exert pressure because of their moving particles. ... This causes greater pressure. Denser fluids such as water exert more pressure than less dense fluids such as air. The particles of denser fluids are closer together, so there are more collisions in a given area.
