Step-by-step explanation:
We have a geometric sequence with:
,
, and
Where
Sn is the sum of the sequence
r is the common ratio
is the first term in the sequence
n is the number of terms in the sequence
The formula to calculate the sum of a finite geometric sequence is:
Then:
Now we solve for
Answer:
1,809.98 lb*m/s^2
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we want to know how much weight of the boulder is projected along the path in which the boulder can move.
The weight of the boulder is:
W = 322lb*9.8 m/s^2 = (3,155.6 lb*m/s^2)
This weight has a direction that is vertical, pointing downwards.
Now, we know that the angle of the hill is 35°
The angle that makes the direction of the weight and this angle, is:
(90° - 35°)
(A rough sketch of this situation can be seen in the image below)
Then we need to project the weight over this direction, and that will be given by:
P = W*cos(90° - 35°) = (3,155.6 lb*m/s^2)*cos(55°) = 1,809.98 lb*m/s^2
This is the force that Samuel needs to exert on the boulder if he wants the boulder to not roll down.
