Answer:

a. θ = 30°

b. μ = √3 / 15 ≈ 0.115

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a free body diagram for each scenario (see attached figure).  The body has four forces acting on it:

  • Weight pulling down
  • Normal force perpendicular to the incline
  • Applied force parallel up the incline
  • Friction force parallel to the incline

Remember that friction opposes the direction of motion.  So when the body is sliding up, friction points down the incline.  And when the body is sliding down, friction points up the incline.

Now apply Newton's second law to each scenario, first in the normal direction, then in the parallel direction.

For sliding up, sum of the forces normal to the incline:

∑F = ma

N − mg cos θ = 0

N = mg cos θ

Sum of the forces parallel to the incline:

∑F = ma

P₁ − f − mg sin θ = 0

P₁ − Nμ − mg sin θ = 0

Substituting the expression for normal force:

P₁ − mgμ cos θ − mg sin θ = 0

Now for sliding down, sum of the forces normal to the incline:

∑F = ma

N − mg cos θ = 0

N = mg cos θ

And sum of the forces parallel to the incline:

∑F = ma

P₂ + f − mg sin θ = 0

P₂ + Nμ − mg sin θ = 0

Substituting the expression for normal force:

P₂ + mgμ cos θ − mg sin θ = 0

We know that P₁ = 6 kg.wt, P₂ = 4 kg.wt, and mg = 10 kg.wt.

So we have two equations and two unknowns (μ and θ):

P₁ − mgμ cos θ − mg sin θ = 0

P₂ + mgμ cos θ − mg sin θ = 0

Let's start by adding the equations together:

P₁ + P₂ − 2 mg sin θ = 0

P₁ + P₂ = 2 mg sin θ

sin θ = (P₁ + P₂) / (2 mg)

Plugging in the values:

sin θ = (6 + 4) / (2 × 10)

sin θ = 1/2

θ = 30°

Now we can plug this into either equation and find μ.

P₁ − mgμ cos θ − mg sin θ = 0

6 − (10 cos 30°) μ − 10 sin 30° = 0

6 − 5√3 μ − 5 = 0

1 = 5√3 μ

μ = √3 / 15

μ ≈ 0.115

Answer:

The answer is 8.6×10¹⁴

Step-by-step explanation:

You can evaluate it :

(4.3 \times  {10}^{8} ) \times (2.0 \times  {10}^{6} )

= (4.3 \times 2.0) \times ( {10}^{8}  \times  {10}^{6} )

= 8.6 \times  {10}^{8 + 6}

=8.6 \times  {10}^{14}

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

The probability is   G  =  85%

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The percentage of parents that have one child under 18 in their homes is  k = 15%

  The percentage of parents that have two children is  T = 65%

    The percentage of parents that have three or more children is  Y = 20%

Generally the probability that any given family who is selected have two or more children at home is mathematically evaluated as

     G  =  T  +  Y

=>  G  =  65% +  20%

=>  G  =  85%

nadezda [96]

Answer: -12m^3n^3

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{1}{4}\left(8mn\right)\left(-6m^2n^2\right)

=-\frac{1}{4}\cdot \:8mn\cdot \:6m^2n^2

=-\frac{1}{4}\cdot \:48mnm^2n^2

=-\frac{1}{4}\cdot \:48m^3nn^2

-\frac{1}{4}\cdot \:48m^3n^3

=-12m^3n^3

There is a bag with only milk and dark chocolates. The probability of randomly choosing a dark chocolate is 5 12 . There are 40
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

There must be 96 milk chocolates.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you take the original ratio, 5:12, and replace the 5 with 40, you'd discover that 40 divided by 5 is 8. So what do you do? You multiply the 12 by 8 to get 96 so now the ratio is 40:96.
