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

In reaching her destination, a backpacker walks with an average velocity of 1.34 m/s, due west. This average velocity results be
Ivanshal [37]

We can define average velocity as:

av = (total distance travelled)/(total time)

Only using the above equation, we will find that she walked 807.3m due east.

<em>The given information is:</em>

The average velocity is 1.34 m/s due west.

(we can define west as the positive side and east as the negative side).

We know that first, she hikes 6.44km due west with an average velocity of 2.68 m/s.

To get the total time it took we write the equation:

2.68 m/s = (6,440m)/(time)

time = 6,440m/(2.68 m/s) = 2,402.9 seconds.

Then she hikes a distance D due east with an average velocity of 0.447 m/s, because she goes due east, we will write -D in the equations.

Now using the same equation as before, we can get the time as:

time' = -D/(-0.447 m/s) = D/(0.447 m/s)

Now the equation for the total average velocity will be:

1.34 m/s = (6,440m - D)/(2,402.9 s +  D/(0.447 m/s))

Now we need to solve this for D.

(1.34 m/s)*(2,402.9 s +  D/(0.447 m/s)) =  (6,440m - D)

(1.34 m/s)*(2,402.9 s) + (1.34 m/s)*(D/(0.447 m/s) =6,440m - D

(1.34 m/s)*(D/(0.447 m/s) + D = 6,440m - (1.34 m/s)*(2,402.9 s) = 3,229.1 m

D*(1 + (1.34m/s)/(0.447 m/s)) = 3,229.1 m

D*4 = 3,229.1 m

D =  3,229.1 m/4 = 807.3 m

We can conclude that she walked 807.3m due east.
