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

Explanation:

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

Answer:

$F_0 = 393 N$

Explanation:

As we know that amplitude of forced oscillation is given as

$A = \frac{F_0}{ m(\omega^2 - \omega_0^2)}$

here we know that natural frequency of the oscillation is given as

$\omega_0 = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$

here mass of the object is given as

$m = \frac{W}{g}$

$\omega_0 = \sqrt{\frac{220}{\frac{30}{9.81}}}$

$\omega_0 = 8.48 rad/s$

angular frequency of applied force is given as

$\omega = 2\pi f$

$\omega = 2\pi(10.5) = 65.97 rad/s$

now we have

$0.03 = \frac{F_0}{3.06(65.97^2 - 8.48^2)}$

$F_0 = 393 N$

Explain how you can improve the accuracy of a measurement.

You use more significant figures. 5 sigfigs (1.0985) is more accurate than 2 sigfigs (1.0)

If a weight hanging on a string of length 5 feet swings through 5^\circ on either side of the vertical, how long is the arc thro

Zielflug [23.3K]

First we can find the circumference of the whole circle with a radius of 5 feet. circumference = 2 pi radius circumference = (2 pi) (5 feet) circumference = (10 pi) feet From one high point to the other high point, the string moves through an angle of 10 degrees. Since a full circle is 360 degrees, this angle is 1/36 of a full circle. Therefore, the arc length is 1/36 of the whole circumference. arc length = (1/36) (circumference) arc length = (1/36) (10 pi) feet arc length = 0.873 feet

Suppose for your cookout you need to make 100 hamburgers. You know that 2.00 pounds will make 9 hamburgers. How many pounds will

VMariaS [17]

2 pounds = 9 burgers figure out ow many 9's you can get out of 100: 100/9=11 but that only makes 99 you need 100 so we would add another one making 12. now multiply 12 by 2: 12·2=24. You would need 24 pounds of meet :)
