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 car is traveling at 75 m/s. 50 seconds later it is traveling at 25 m/s. What is the car’s acceleration?
scoray [572]

Answer:

a = -1 m/s^2

Explanation:

Vi = 75 m/s

Vf = 25 m/s

t = 50 s

Plug those values into the following equation:

Vf = Vi + at

25 = 75 + 50a

---> a = -1 m/s^2

A block of mass 4 kilograms is initially moving at 5m/s on a horizontal surface. There is friction between the block and the sur
emmasim [6.3K]

• Net vertical force on the block:

∑ <em>F</em> = <em>n</em> - <em>w</em> = 0

(<em>n</em> = magnitude of normal force, <em>w</em> = weight)

<em>n</em> = <em>w</em> = <em>m g</em>

(<em>m</em> = mass, <em>g</em> = 9.8 m/s²)

<em>n</em> = (4 kg) (9.8 m/s²) = 39.2 N

• Net horizontal force:

∑ <em>F</em> = -<em>f</em> = <em>m a</em>

(<em>f</em> = mag. of friction, <em>a</em> = acceleration)

We have <em>f</em> = <em>µ</em> <em>n</em> = 0.5 (39.2 N) = 19.6 N, so

-19.6 N = (4 kg) <em>a</em>

<em>a</em> = -4.9 m/s²

With this acceleration, the block comes to a rest from an initial speed of 5 m/s, so that it travels a distance ∆<em>x</em> in this time such that

0² - (5 m/s)² = 2 (-4.9 m/s²) ∆<em>x</em>

∆<em>x</em> = (25 m²/s²) / (9.8 m/s²) ≈ 2.55 m ≈ 2.6 m

Korolek [52]

\\ \sf\longmapsto 0.62\times 10^3

\\ \sf\longmapsto 62\times 10^{-2}\times 10^3

\\ \sf\longmapsto 62\times 10^{-2+3}

\\ \sf\longmapsto 62\times 10^1

\\ \sf\longmapsto 62\times 10

\\ \sf\longmapsto 620

An object is 1.0 cm tall and its erect image is 5.0 cm tall. what is the exact magnification?
ikadub [295]
The exact magnification of the objects is calculated by dividing the cinema. We calculate it by diving the erect image size by the object size. From the given above, we find the exact magnification by dividing 5.0 cm by 1.0 cm. Thus, the answer would be 5.
