Answer:
122.5 lbs
Step-by-step explanation:
The relation between force, wind speed, and area can be written ...
f = ks²a
for some wind speed s and area a.
__
The constant of proportionality, k, can be found from the given data.
64.8 = k(18²)(500) . . . force in pounds, area in square feet, speed in mph
k = 64.8/(324×500) = 0.0004
__
Using the equation with the second set of data, we have ...
f = 0.0004(35²)(250) = 122.5 . . . . pounds
The force on the 250 square foot sail would be 122.5 pounds.
To find an angle you need to use trig ratios (tan, sin, and cos).
In this case to find ∠R you would need to use sin or cos because both of the legs are not across or adjacent to it.
To find ∠R you would need to do the "opposite" formula which would be (for sin) 5/13 <span>≈ 0.38.. asin = 22.26</span>
Let's call bicycles 'b' and unicycles 'u'
Note that bicycles have 2 tires, and unicycles have 1 tire.
We can make two equations:
b = u + 8
2b + 1u = 46
Solving the first equation for u, we get:
u = b - 8
Plug that equation into the second, and we get:
2b + (b - 8) = 46
Subtract 2b on both sides.
1(b - 8) = 46 - 2b
Basically, I used b and your question used n.
The correct answer is: D. 1(n - 8) = 46 - 2n.
