Answer:
d = 13 miles
Explanation:
Lets say the position of court house is origin in this case
her office is located at 4 miles west and 4 miles south of court house
so here we have coordinate of the office with respect to court house is given as
now the position of her home is located at 1 miles east and 8 miles north of the court house
so the coordinates of her home is given as
now the change in the position is given as the distance between office and home
Answer:
The resultant tension of the two ropes is approximately 42.4 N
The length of the line representing the resultant tension is approximately 8.48 cm
Please find included with the answer the scale drawing created with Microsoft Word
Explanation:
The given parameters are;
The tension in rope P, = 30 N
The tension in rope Q, = 30 N
The angle the rope, 'P', makes with the horizontal = 45°
The angle the rope, 'Q', makes with the horizontal = 45°
The scale factor of the scale diagram, S.F. = 5.0 N/cm
By the resolution of forces at equilibrium, we have;
The sum of the vertical forces, =
+
+ W = 0
∴ W = -( +
)
W = -(30 × sin(45°) + 30 × sin(45°)) = -42.4264068712
The weight of the heavy ball, W ≈ 42.4 N acting downwards
The sum of the horizontal forces, =
+
= 0
The length of the resultant force, W = W/(S.F.) ≈ 42.4 N/(5.0 N/cm) = 8.48 cm
The drawing of the vectors using the scale factor of 5.0 N/cm is created using Microsoft Word is included
