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

If youre walking from point a to b, the magnitude of your displacement will always be equal or less than or greater than your di
xenn [34]

The magnitude of your displacement can be equal to the distance you covered, or it can be less than the distance you covered.  But it can never be greater than the distance you covered.

This is because displacement is a straight line, whereas distance can be a straight line, a squiggly line, a zig-zag line, a line with loops in it, a line with a bunch of back-and-forths in it, or any other kind of line.

The straight line is always the shortest path between two points.

A wheel has a constant angular acceleration of 4.5 rad/s2. during a certain 5.0 s interval, it turns through an angle of 128 rad
dalvyx [7]
The solution for this problem is through this formula:Ø = w1 t + 1/2 ã t^2 
where:Ø - angular displacement w1 - initial angular velocity t - time ã - angular acceleration 
128 = w1 x 4 + ½ x 4.5 x 5^2 128 = 4w1 + 56.254w1 = -128 + 56.25 4w1 = 71.75w1 = 71.75/4
w1 = 17.94 or 18 rad s^-1 
w1 = wo + ãt 
w1 - final angular velocity 
wo - initial angular velocity 
18 = 0 + 4.5t t = 4 s
