If the elevator's speed is constant (in ANY direction) and you can't see out of it, then there's NO measurement you can make inside that will tell you that it's moving. Any weight you measure is normal.

A hiker leaves her camp and walks 3.5 km in a direction of 55° south of west to the lake. after a short rest at the lake, she hi

Let's choose east as positive x-direction and south as positive y-direction. We can resolve the two displacement along these two axes:

- Displacement 1 (3.5 km, 55^{\circ} south of west

d_{1x}=-(3.5 km)( cos 55^{\circ})=-2.01 km

d_{1y}=(3.5 km)( sin 55^{\circ})=2.87 km

- Displacement 2 (2.7 km, 16^{\circ} east of south

d_{2x}=(2.7 km)( sin 16^{\circ})=0.74 km

d_{1y}=(2.7 km)( cos 16^{\circ})=2.60 km

So, the total components on the two directions are

d_x = -2.01 km+0.74 km=-1.27 km

d_y=2.87 km+2.60 km=5.47 km

And the magnitude of the hiker's resultant displacement is

d=\sqrt{(1.27 km)^2+(5.47 km)^2}=5.6 km

Two spheres A and B of negligible dimensions and masses 1 kg and √3 kg respectively, are supported on the smooth circular surfac
alexdok [17]

Answer:

α = π/3

β = π/6

Explanation:

Use arc length equation to find the sum of the angles.

s = rθ

π/20 m = (0.1 m) (α + β)

π/2 = α + β

Draw a free body diagram for each sphere.  Both spheres have three forces acting on them:

Weight force mg pulling down,

Normal force N pushing perpendicular to the surface,

and tension force T pulling tangential to the surface.

Sum of forces on A in the tangential direction:

∑F = ma

T − m₁g sin α = 0

T = m₁g sin α

Sum of forces on B in the tangential direction:

∑F = ma

T − m₂g sin β = 0

T = m₂g sin β

Substituting:

m₁g sin α = m₂g sin β

m₁ sin α = m₂ sin β

(1 kg) sin α = (√3 kg) sin (π/2 − α)

1 sin α = √3 cos α

tan α = √3

α = π/3

β = π/6
