I'm thinking that you're supposed to divide. So you would divide 5 into 60 and get 12

As per the question the rope is inclined at an angle of 60 degree with the horizontal.

Let the tension produced in the rope is T.

The effective force which pulls the toy along horizontal direction is 5 N.

Resolving T into two components we get-

[1]\ \ Tsin\theta  in vertical upward direction.

[2]\ \ Tcos\theta in horizontal direction.

The vertical component is balanced by the weight of the body i.e

                            Tsin\theta=mg

Hence the toy moves due to the horizontal component.

                   Hence\ Tcos\theta=5 N

                         Tcos60= 5N

                          T= \frac{5}{cos60}

                                   = 5*2 N   [  cos60 = \frac{1}{2} ]

                                   = 10 N

Hence the tension produced in the rope is 10 N.

A box slides down a ramp inclined at 24◦ to the horizontal with an acceleration of 1.7 m/s 2 . The acceleration of gravity is 9.
dsp73

Answer:

<h3>0.445</h3>

Explanation:

In friction, the coefficient of friction formula is expressed as;

\mu = \frac{F_f}{R}

Ff is the frictional force = Wsinθ

R is the reaction = Wcosθ

Substitute inti the equation;

\mu = \frac{Wsin \theta}{W cos\theta} \\\mu = \frac{sin \theta}{cos\theta} \\\mu = tan \theta

Given

θ = 24°

\mu = tan 24^0\\\mu = 0.445\\

Hence the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the ramp is 0.445

allsm [11]

Answer:

v = 2.94 m/s

Explanation:

When the spring is compressed, its potential energy is equal to (1/2)kx^2, where k is the spring constant and x is the distance compressed. At this point there is no kinetic energy due to there being no movement, meaning the net energy in the system is (1/2)kx^2.

Once the spring leaves the system, it will be moving at a constant velocity v, if friction is ignored. At this time, its kinetic energy will be (1/2)mv^2. It won't have any spring potential energy, making the net energy (1/2)mv^2.

Because of the conservation of energy, these two values can be set equal to each other, since energy will not be gained or lost while the spring is decompressing. That means

(1/2)kx^2 = (1/2)mv^2

kx^2 = mv^2

v^2 = (kx^2)/m

v = sqrt((kx^2)/m)

v = x * sqrt(k/m)

v = 0.122 * sqrt(125/0.215)        <--- units converted to m and kg

v = 2.94 m/s
