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

Normalize the equations
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

Solution is in explanation

Explanation:

part a)

For normalization we have

\int_{0}^{\infty }f(x)dx=1\\\\\therefore \int_{0}^{\infty }ae^{-kx}dx=1\\\\\Rightarrow a\int_{0}^{\infty }e^{-kx}dx=1\\\\\frac{a}{-k}[\frac{1}{e^{kx}}]_{0}^{\infty }=1\\\\\frac{a}{-k}[0-1]=1\\\\\therefore a=k

Part b)

\int_{0}^{L }f(x)dx=1\\\\\therefore Re(\int_{0}^{L }ae^{-ikx}dx)=1\\\\\Rightarrow Re(a\int_{0}^{L }e^{-ikx}dx)=1\\\\\therefore Re(\frac{a}{-ik}[\frac{1}{e^{ikx}}]_{0}^{L})=1\\\\\Rightarrow Re(\frac{a}{-ik}(e^{-ikL}-1))=1\\\\\frac{a}{k}Re(\frac{1}{-i}(cos(-kL)+isin(-kL)-1))=1

\frac{a}{k}Re(\frac{1}{-i}(cos(-kL)+isin(-kL)-1))=1\\\\\frac{a}{k}Re(icos(-kL)+sin(kL)+\frac{1}{i})=1\\\\\frac{a}{k}sin(kL)=1\\\\a=\frac{k}{sin(kL)}

How will the motion of a falling whirligig compare to that of a falling paper ball?
kicyunya [14]

The motion of a falling whirligig is different to that of a falling paper ball due to spinning.

<h3>Type of motion performed by whirligig and falling paper ball </h3>

The motion of a falling whirligig is different from the motion of a falling paper ball because the paper ball falls on the ground without spinning while on the other hand, the whirligig falls on the ground along with spinning.

The falling whirligig performs two motion i.e. one is falling on the ground and the other is spinning during motion whereas paper ball performs one motion i.e. motion in the air towards the ground so we can conclude that the motion of a falling whirligig is different than of a falling paper ball.
