Most lightning happens inside a cloud, but sometimes it happens between the cloud and the ground. A build up of positive charge builds up on the ground beneath the cloud, attracted to the negative charge in the bottom of the cloud. The ground's positive charge concentrates around anything that sticks up-trees, lightning conductors, even people. The positive charge from the ground connects with the negative charge from the clouds and a spark of lightning strikes.

A 225 kg block is pulled by two horizontal forces. The first force is 178 N at a 41.7-degree angle and the second is 259 N at a
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

52.9 N, 364.7 N

Explanation:

First of all, we need to resolve both forces along the x- and y- direction. We have:

- Force A (178 N)

A_x = (178 N)(cos 41.7^{\circ})=132.9 N\\A_y = (178 N)(sin 41.7^{\circ})=118.4 N

- Force B (259 N)

B_x = (259 N)(cos 108^{\circ})=-80.0 N\\B_y = (259 N)(sin 108^{\circ})=246.3 N

So the x- and y- component of the total force acting on the block are:

R_x = A_x + B_x = 132.9 N - 80.0 N =52.9 N\\R_y = A_y + B_y = 118.4 N +246.3 N = 364.7 N
