Answer:

R=64.32\ lb\\\\\theta=84.3\°

Explanation:

Given:

Ratio of lift force to drag force is, \frac{L}{D}=10

Lift force on a short section is, L=64\ lb

Magnitude of resultant, R= ?

The angle of 'R' with the horizontal is, \theta=?

We know that, lift force and drag are at right angles to each other. So, the resultant can be computed using Pythagoras theorem.

For calculating 'R', we first compute drag force 'D'.

As per question:

\frac{L}{D}=10\\\\D=\frac{L}{10}=\frac{64\ lb}{10}=6.4\ lb

Now, the magnitude of resultant 'R' is given as:

R=\sqrt{L^2+D^2}

Plug in the given values and solve for 'R'. This gives,

R=\sqrt{64^2+6.4^2}\\\\R=\sqrt{4096+40.96}\\\\R=\sqrt{4136.96}=64.32\ lb

Therefore, the magnitude of the resultant force 'R' is 64.32 lb.

Now, the angle \theta is given as the arctan of the ratio of the lift and drag force.

Therefore,

\theta=\tan^{-1}(L/D)\\\\\theta=\tan^{-1}(10)\\\\\theta=84.3\°

Therefore, the angle made with the horizontal is 84.3°.

A glider is gliding through the air at a height of 416 meters with a speed of 45.2 m/s. The glider
julia-pushkina [17]

There's not enough information to find an answer.

I think the idea here is that in descending (416 - 278) = 138 meters,
the glider gives up some gravitational potential energy, which
becomes kinetic energy at the lower altitude.  This is all well and
good, but we can't calculate the difference in potential energy
without knowing the mass of the glider.

liq [111]

Answer:

150153.06122 N

Explanation:

m = Mass of person = 75 kg

h = Height of fall = 1 m

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

F = Force

s = Displacement = 0.49 cm

Potential energy is given by

P=mgh\\\Rightarrow P=75\times 9.81\times 1\\\Rightarrow P=735.75\ J

Work is given by

W=Fs\\\Rightarrow F=\frac{W}{s}\\\Rightarrow F=\frac{735.75}{0.0049}\\\Rightarrow F=150153.06122\ N

The average force exerted is 150153.06122 N
