Answer:

  fr = 245 N,  T = fr

Explanation:

We can solve this exercise using the equilibrium conditions, let's start by creating a reference system

where we call T the drag force of the gorilla, m the mass of the trunk and μ the coefficient of kinetic friction

Y axis  

           N- W =

           N = W = mg

X axis

          T - fr = 0

          T = fr

the expression for the friction force is

          fr = μ N

          fr = μ mg

we substitute

           T = μ m g

When analyzing these expressions we see that when the trunk reaches the maximum speed that the gorilla carries, the friction force is equal to the gorilla's tension

            fr = T

for a specific calculation we must assign values ​​to:

      μ = 0.25

      m = 100 kg

let's calculate

         T = 0.25 100 9.8

         T = 245 N

therefore for this case

         fr = 245 N

The average diameter of one tennis ball in a package of three is 6.8 cm. Which of the following is the combined volume of all th
Crank

We want to find the combined volume of 3 tennis balls. We will get that the combined volume is 493.7 cm^3

First, remember that for a sphere of diameter D, the volume is:

V = \frac{4}{3}*3.14*(\frac{D}{2})^3

Where 3.14 is pi.

Here we know that the average diameter of a tennis ball is 6.8cm, then we can replace that in the above equation to find the volume (in average) of a single tennis ball:

V = \frac{4}{3}*3.14*(\frac{6.8cm}{2})^3 = 164.5 cm^3

Now, in 3 balls of tennis, the combined volume will be 3 times the above one, this is:

3*V = 3*164.5cm^3 = 493.7 cm^3
