The component of the weight of the box along the surface is 34.9N.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given that

Mass of the box m=21kg

Angle of inclination θ=10°

Acceleration due to gravity g=9.8 m/s^{2}

Weight of an object is the force with which the earth attracts the object. Since weight is a force its unit is Newton(N). When an object is placed on a surface that has no inclination, its weight is given by the expression

W=mg

where m denotes mass of the object and g denotes the acceleration due to gravity.

When the surface has an inclination, the weight of the object can be resolved into two components that are parallel and perpendicular to the surface.

The component of weight parallel to the surface is given by

W=mgsinθ

where θ is the angle of inclination

The component of weight perpendicular to the surface is given by

W=mgcosθ

In the given problem, we have to find out the parallel component of weight

W=mgsinθ

W=21\times 9.8 \timessin10\°\\=21\times9.8\times0.17\\=34.9N

The component of the weight of the box along the surface is 34.9N

Find the pressure if a force of 2N is applied to an area of 0.00004m^2
BigorU [14]

Answer:

5 x 10^4 N/m^2

Explanation:

Pressure, force and area are related witg the following equation;

Pressure = Force /Area

From the question, we obtained the following information;

Force = 2N

Area = 0.00004m^2

Pressure =?

Pressure = Force /Area

Pressure = 2/0.00004

Pressure = 5 x 10^4N/m^2

A measure of the force that moves charges though a conducting material is
alexira [117]

Answer: Voltage

Voltage is the measure of force or potential energy that required moving a unit charge from one location to another through a conductor. This potential energy is stored in the form of an electric charge imbalance and capable of provoking electrons to flow in material through which charges can easily flow.
