Answer:

Only the perpendicular component of gravity is responsible for the rotation because wind points toward the pivot.

Spiderman, whose mass is 70.0 kg, is dangling on the free end of a 12.2-m-long rope, the other end of which is fixed to a tree l
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

U = -3978.8 J

Explanation:

The work of the gravitational force U just depends of the heigth and is calculated as:

U = -mgh

Where m is the mass, g is the gravitational acceleration and h the alture.

for calculate the alture we will use the following equation:

h = L-Lcos(θ)

Where L is the large of the rope and θ is the angle.

Replacing data:

h = 12.2-12.2cos(58.4)

h = 5.8 m

Finally U is equal to:

U = -70(9.8)(5.8)

U = -3,978.8 J

Block on inclined plane experience a force due to gravity of 300N straight down. If the slope is inclined at 67.8°to the horizon
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

The component of the force due to gravity perpendicular and parallel to the slope is  113.4 N and 277.8 N respectively.

Explanation:

Force is any cause capable of modifying the state of motion or rest of a body or of producing a deformation in it. Any force can be decomposed into two vectors, so that the sum of both vectors matches the vector before decomposing. The decomposition of a force into its components can be done in any direction.

Taking into account the simple trigonometric relations, such as sine, cosine and tangent, the value of their components and the value of the angle of application, then the parallel and perpendicular components will be:

  • Fparallel = F*sinα =300 N*sin 67.8° =300 N*0.926⇒ Fparallel =277.8 N
  • Fperpendicular = F*cosα =  300 N*cos 67.8° = 300 N*0.378 ⇒ Fperpendicular= 113.4 N

<u><em>The component of the force due to gravity perpendicular and parallel to the slope is  113.4 N and 277.8 N respectively.</em></u>
