During a storm, a tree limb breaks off and comes to rest across a barbed wire fence at a point that is not in the middle between

two fence posts. The limb exerts a downward force of 176 N on the wire. The left section of the wire makes an angle of 12.5° relative to the horizontal and sustains a tension of 413 N. Find the (a) magnitude and (b) direction (as an angle relative to horizontal) of the tension that the right section of the wire sustains.

Answer:

Magnitude - 11.83 Degree

Direction - 422.42 N

Explanation:

Given data:

Downward force on wire 176 N

Angle made by left section of wire 12.5 degree with horizontal

Tension force = 413 N

From figure

Applying quilibrium principle at point A

The vertical and horizontal force is 0

then we have

Tcos\theta = 413 N   ........1

176 = 413 sin 12.5 + Tsin\theta     .......2

Tsin\theta = 176 - 89.39  = 86.6.......3

divide equation 3 by 1

we get

\theta = tan^{-1} (0.2096)

theta = 11.83^o  ...........4

from equation 3 and 4

T = \frac{86.6}{sin 11.83}

T = 422.42 N

Answer:

a. 12.12°

b. 412.04 N

Explanation:

Along vertical axis, the equation can be written as

T_1 sin14 + T_2sinA = mg

T_2sinA = mg - T_1sin12.5           ....................... (a)

Along horizontal axis, the equation can be written as

T_2×cosA = T_1×cos12.5    ......................... (b)

(a)/(b) given us

Tan A = (mg - T_1sin12.5) / T_1 cos12.5

 = (176 - 413sin12.5) / 413×cos12.5

A = 12.12 °

(b) T2 cosA = T1 cos12.5

T2 = 413cos12.5/cos12.12

= 412.04 N

Which would be the least effective medium for traveling sound waves? A) gas B) solid C) liquid D) vacuum
Delvig [45]

Answer: The correct answer is vacuum.

Explanation:

Sound wave is a longitudinal wave in which the particles vibrate parallel to the direction of the motion of the wave. Sound wave consists of compression and rarefaction.

It needs a medium to travel. It can travel in solid, liquid and gas. It cannot travel in vacuum.

Denser the medium, more will be the speed of the wave.

Solid is more denser in comparison to liquid.

The speed of the sound in the solid medium is more in comparison to the liquid. The speed of the sound in liquid is more than the speed in the gas.

Therefore, vacuum is least effective medium for traveling sound waves.

Ms. Paul is standing at the top of a cliff that is 100 m tall. She kicks a rock and it gets a horizontal velocity of 15.0 m/s. D
Lynna [10]

vertical motion

h=1/2 gt²

100 = 1/2 x 10 x t²

t² = 100/5 = 20

t = 2√5 s

horizontal motion

x = v.t

x = 15 x 2√5

x = 30√5 m

Please help me on calculating Net Force, examples E and D in the attachment. Would be grateful if you'd explain. Thank you.
Yanka [14]
The net force is force applied + force friction ( which is negative ) Unfortunately for some reason the numbers are negative, could you ask your teach about that?

Btw, left is usually force fric. which makes it negative

(-750+-250+-550)+1563 = net force

(-792+-632+-100)+(400+900) = net force
