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

zhenek [66]

Answer:

4. All of the above

Explanation:

The purpose of striking the ball in a volleyball game:

From the serve you could state that you need to place the ball in motion.

When returning a shot of, you normally want to change the direction of the ball's motion.

During a dropshot, you purposely want to slow down the ball's motion.

The correct answer must be all of the above.

Answer:

a. Potential energy decreases and Kinetic energy increases

Explanation:

Because as he comes down due to its steepness the speed of the boy or you can say his KE increases and since he comes from a high position (hill) to the lower ground his potential energy decreases simultaneously

You throw a glob of putty straight up toward the ceiling, which is 3.60 m above the point where the putty leaves your hand. The
Sliva [168]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Height of ceiling is h=3.6\ m

Initial speed of Putty u=9.5\ m/s

Speed of Putty just before it strike the ceiling is given by

v^2-u^2=2as

where v=final velocity

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

s=displacement

v^2-9.5^2=2\times (-9.8)\times 3.6

v^2=19.69

v=4.43\ m/s

time taken by putty to reach the ceiling

v=u+at

4.43=9.5-9.8\times t

t=\frac{5.07}{9.8}

t=0.517\ s
