A 140 kg camera is suspended by two wires over a 40 metre wide football field to get shots of the action from above. At one poin

t, the camera is closer to the left side of the field. The tension in the wire on the left is 1500 N, while the tension in the wire on the right is 800 N. Determine the length of each cable.

Answer:

Please red the answer below

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine the length of each cable you use the Newton second law for each component of the forces involved in the situation.

For the x component you have:

T_1cos\theta_1-T_2cos\theta_2=0           (1)

T1: tension of the first cable = 1500N

T2: tension of the second cable = 800N

θ1: angle between the horizontal and the first cable

θ2: angle between the horizontal and the first cable

For the y component you have:

T_1sin\theta_1+T_2sin\theta_2-W=0               (2)

W: weight of the camera = Mg = (140kg)(9.8m/s^2) = 1372N

You can squared both equations (1) and (2) and the sum the two equations:

T_1^2cos^2\theta_1=T_2^2cos^2\theta_2\\\\T_1^2sin^2\theta_1=T_2^2sin^2\theta_2-2WT_2sin\theta_2+W^2

Then, you sum the equations:

T_1^2(cos^2\theta_1+sin^2\theta_1)=T_2^2(sin^2\theta_2+cos^2\theta_2)-2Wsin\theta_2+W^2        (3)

Next, you use the following identity:

sin^2\theta+cos^2\theta=1

and you obtain in the equation (3):

T_1^2=T_2^2-2WT_2sin\theta_2+W^2\\\\sin\theta_2=\frac{T_2^2-T_1^2+W^2}{2WT_2}=\frac{(800N)^2-(1500)^2+(1372N)^2}{2(800N)(1372N)}=0.066\\\\\theta_2=sin^{-1}0.066=27.23\°

With this values you can calculate the value of the another angle, by using the equation (1):

\theta_1=cos^{-1}(\frac{T_2cos(27.23\°)}{T_1})=cos^{-1}(\frac{(800N)(cos27.23\°)}{1500N})\\\\\theta_1=61.69\°

Now, you can calculate the length of each cable by using the information about the width of the football field. You use the following trigonometric relation:

l_1cos\theta_1=40-d\\\\l_2cos\theta_2=d\\\\

d: distance to the right side of the field

By using the cosine law you can fins a system of equation and then you can calculate the values of l1 and l2.

For a function to be a function there cannot be any x’s repeated. In this case, you’re looking for a function that has an x repeated. The answer is {(1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(1,4)}

Graph the linear inequality.<br> y&lt;2
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

See attachment.

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to graph the linear inequality y<2

We  first of all graph  the corresponding linear equation y=2 with a dashed line because all points on this line do not satisfy the inequality.

We then shade below the line y=2, to show that all points below the boundary line are solution to the inequality y<2

2.145 is divisible by which numbers<br> 2<br> 6<br> 5<br> 3​
mariarad [96]

Answer:

  • 3 and 5 if "." marks thousands
  • 2, 3, 5, 6 if "." is a decimal point

Step-by-step explanation:

The number 2145 is not even, so will not be divisible by 2 or 6. It ends in 5 so is divisible by 5. Its sum of digits is 12, which is divisible by 3, so the number is divisible by 3.

2145 is divisible by 3 and 5.

2.145 is divisible by all of these numbers:

  2.145/2 = 1.0725

  2.145/6 = 0.3575

  2.145/5 = 0.429

  2.145/3 = 0.715

_____

Here, we take the mixed number to be divisible if the decimal representation of the quotient is a terminating decimal fraction.
