Answer:
P = 450 J
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of a child, m = 18 kg
The vertical distance from the top to the bottom of the slide is 2.5 metres.
The Gravitational field strength = 10 N/kg
We need to find the decrease in gravitational potential energy of the child sliding from the top to the bottom of the slide.
The formula for the gravitational potential energy is given by :
P = mgh
Substituting all the values,
P = 18 kg × 10 m/s² × 2.5 m
P = 450 J
Hence, the decrease in gravitational potential energy is 450 J.
The tension in the two chains T1 and T2 is 676.65 N and 542.53 N respectively.
<h3>Principle of moments</h3>
The Principle of Moments states that when a body is in equip, the sum of clockwise moment about a point is equal to the sum of anticlockwise moment about the same point.
The formula for calculating moment is given below:
- Moment = Force × perpendicular distance from the pivot
<h3>Calculating the tension in the chains</h3>
From the principle of moments:
Let tension in chain 1 be T1 and tension in chain 2 be T2.
T1 + T2 = 150 + 650 + 419
T1 + T2 =1219
Taking all distances from chain 1,
Sum of Moments = 0
419 × 0.5 + 150 × 0.85 + 650 × 0.9 = T2 × 1.7
T2 = 922/17
T2 = 542.35 N
Then, T1 = 1219 - 542.35
T1 = 676.65 N
Therefore, the tension in the two chains T1 and T2 is 676.65 N and 542.53 N respectively.

<h3>
Answer:</h3>
49 N
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
<u>We are given;</u>
- Mass of the brick as 3 kg
- The coefficient of friction as 0.6
We are required to determine the force that must be applied by the woman so the brick does not fall.
- We need to importantly note that;
- For the brick not to fall the, the force due to gravity is equal to the friction force acting on the brick.
- That is; Friction force = Mg
But; Friction force = μ F
Therefore;
μ F = mg
0.6 F = 3 × 9.8
0.6 F = 29.4
F = 49 N
Therefore, she must use a force of 49 N
