Answer:

The vertical component of the force is 1352 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Force acting on the tree trunk, F = 3200 pounds

The truck's cable makes an angle of 25 degree with the vertical. We need to find the vertical component of the force. We know that the force is a vector quantity. The vertical component is given by :

F_y=F\sin\theta\\\\F_y=3200\times \sin (25)\\\\F_y=1352.37\ \text{pounds}

F_y=1352\ \text{pounds}

Hence, the vertical component of the force is 1352 pounds.

Answer:

x = 9.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Before we can figure out what x is, we need to figure out what the unlabeled side is. To figure that out, multiply the hypotenuse (12) by the sine of the angle labeled (34)

12 * sin(34)

<em>sin(34) equals 0.559192903470747; I'll round it to 0.6 for convenience.</em>

12 * 0.6

<em>Now simply multiply 12 by 0.6 to get 7.2.</em>

The unlabeled side is approx. 7.2 units long.

Now we know what the unlabeled side is. Now, to find x, find the square root of 12 squared minus 7.2 squared.

x = √12² - 7.2²

<em>12 squared is 144; 7.2 squared is 51.84.</em>

x = √144 - 51.84

<em>Subtract 51.84 from 144 to get 92.16.</em>

x = √92.16

<em>The square root of 92.16 is 9.6 (on the spot!).</em>

x equals 9.6.

Suppose an isotope has a half-life of 10 years. If you start with 50 grams of the isotope, how much of it will you have in 10 ye
Goshia [24]
The half life of a decaying substance is defined as the time at which the substance decreases to one-half of its original value. In this case, given  hlf-life of 10 years and an original mass of 50 grams, after 10 years, the isotope mass becomes 50*0.5 or 25 grams. Answer is B.

Find the volume of an oblique cone.
AURORKA [14]

V = (1/3) π r² t

= (1/3) π (10 cm)². 16 cm

= (1/3) π (100 cm²). 16 cm

= (1/3) π (1600 cm³)

= (1600π)÷3 cm³ (B)
