Answer:
The x-component of
is 56.148 newtons.
Explanation:
From 1st and 2nd Newton's Law we know that a system is at rest when net acceleration is zero. Then, the vectorial sum of the three forces must be equal to zero. That is:
(1)
Where:
,
,
- External forces exerted on the ring, measured in newtons.
- Vector zero, measured in newtons.
If we know that
,
,
and
, then we construct the following system of linear equations:
(2)
(3)
The solution of this system is:
, 
The x-component of
is 56.148 newtons.
Think in gravity, the moon is orbiting the Earth because of gravitational pull/force. Without this gravitational pull, the moon will just move in a straight line (Newton's first law).
Answer:
0.22 km/h
Explanation:
72 hours in 3 days
16/72 = 0.222222222
round to 0.22 km/h
For future reference, Distance/Time= Speed
