Static equilibrium means that all forces are equal, so make this easiest you want to break F1 into it's horizontal and vertical components. As there are no other forces acting in the horizontal, we know the horizontal component of F1 is 40N. This allows the vertical component to be found using pythagorus theorem. After finding the vertical and horizontal components, you just have to add the vertical components to find the difference between the up and down.
Answer:
e) 120m/s
Explanation:
When the ball reaches its highest point, its velocity becomes zero, meaning
.
where is the initial velocity.
Solving for we get
which is the time it takes the ball to reach the highest point.
Now, after the ball has reached its highest point, it turns around and falls downwards. After time since it had reached the highest point, the ball has traveled downwards and the velocity
it has gained is
,
and we are told that this is twice the initial velocity ; therefore,
which gives
Thus, the total time taken to reach velocity is
This , we are told, is 36 seconds; therefore,
and solving for we get:
which from the options given is choice e.
