Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

For a system of block on inclined ramp shown in the attached image. From the attached image, the Normal force N, weight mg and frictional force f act on the block.  The sum of vertical forces should be zero just as sum of vertical forces should be zero when the system is in equilibrium condition.

Taking sum of forces along the inclined plane we deduce that  

[tex]f=mgsin \theta [tex]

Therefore, option B is the correct option.

A ramp is 1.0 m high and 3.0 m long. What is the IMA of the ramp?
oksano4ka [1.4K]
To calculate the ideal mechanical advantage for an inclined plane, divide th length of the incline by the height of the incline. 
Therefore; IMA = L/h
L= 3.0 m, while h =1.0 m
 IMA = 3/1
         = 3
Therefore the IMA of the ramp is 3 
This means the ramp increases the force that is being exerted by 3 times.

Answer:4.21 \times 10^{-10} J/cm^4

1 kPa= 10^3 Pa

1 km=10^5 cm

1kPa/km=0.01 Pa/cm

1kPa/km=10^{-8} J/cm^4

\Rightarrow r= 0.0421 kPa/km= 0.0421 kPa/km \times \frac{10^{-8} J/cm^4}{1 kPa/km}= 0.0421 \times 10^{-8}J/cm^4=4.21 \times 10^{-10} J/cm^4

an object weighs 98 n on earth. How much does it weigh on planet x where the acceleration due to gravity in 6 m/s^2
Degger [83]
60 N because 98N=mg (here g= 9.8 on earth) thus mass can be calculated which is 98/9.8 = 10kg Now,new weight with g = 6m/s^2 =m×g' (here g' is new acceleration of the new planet) = 10×6=60N
