Answer:

La magnitud de la masa del peso es 78.447 libras-masa.

Explanation:

La tensión es una fuerza de reacción de la cuerda causada por la acción de una fuerza externa. En este caso, esa fuerza externa es el peso que cuelga en el centro de la cuerda. Abajo hemos adjuntado una representación simplificada del enunciado.

Por las leyes de Newton, tenemos la siguiente ecuación de equilibrio conformada por tres fuerzas:

\vec T_{1} + \vec T_{2} + \vec W = (0, 0)\, [N] (1)

Donde:

\vec T_{1}, \vec T_{2} - Tensiones a cada lado de la cuerda, en newtons.

\vec W- Peso, en newtons.

Si sabemos que \vec T_{1} = T\cdot (\cos \alpha, \sin \alpha), \vec T_{2} = T\cdot (-\cos \alpha, \sin \alpha) y \vec W = W\cdot (0, -1), entonces tenemos la siguiente ecuación vectorial:

T\cdot (\cos \alpha, \sin \alpha) + T\cdot (-\cos\alpha, \sin \alpha) + W\cdot (0, -1) = (0,0)

T\cdot (0, 2\cdot \sin \alpha) = W\cdot (0, 1)

Esto permite reducir la anterior expresión a una fórmula escalar:

2\cdot T\cdot \sin \alpha = W

Donde \alpha es el ángulo de inclinación de la cuerda, medido en grados sexagesimales.

El ángulo de inclinación de la cuerda se determina mediante la siguiente fórmula trigonométrica inversa es:

\alpha = \tan^{-1} \left(\frac{2\,ft}{10\,ft}\right)

\alpha \approx 11.310^{\circ}

Si conocemos que \alpha \approx 11.310^{\circ} y T = 200\,lbf, entonces la magnitud del peso es:

W = 2\cdot (200\,lb)\cdot \sin 11.310^{\circ}

W \approx 78.447\,lbf

En el Sistema Imperial, las fuerzas son medidas en forma gravitacional, entonces la magnitud de la fuerza gravitacional del peso equivale a la magnitud de su masa. En síntesis, la magnitud de la masa es 78.447\,lbm.

La magnitud de la masa del peso es 78.447 libras-masa.

Travka [436]

Answer:

C. Overcome Friction

Explanation:

When using any machine usually those with moving parts, you may notice heat forming near the areas where most movement occurs. As friction continues, more energy is used up and released as heat. For that reason, the efficiency of a machine will forever be less than 100%
