Answer:

w_bear = 7175.95 N ,   m = 732.24 kg

Explanation:

Let's analyze the situation a bit, the ice block is in equilibrium with the thrust given by Archimedes' law that is directed towards the bottom, the weight of the ice and the weight of the bear.

           B -W_ice - w_bear = 0

           w_bear = B - W_ice

The thrust is given by

           B = ρ g V

           B = 1025 9.8 6.78

           B = 68 105.1 N

Note that we use the total volume of the block since the problem indicates that it is submerged.

The weight of the ice is

           W_ice = m g

     

the density is

          ρ_ice = m_ice / V

          m_ice = rho_ice V

we substitute

          W_ice = ρ_ice g V

           W_ice = 917 9.8 6.78

           W_ice = 60929.15 N

we substitute in the first equation

             w_bear = 68105.1 - 60929.15

              w_bear = 7175.95 N

the mass of this bear is

               w_bear = m g

               m = w_bear / g

               m = 7175.95 / 9.8

               m = 732.24 kg

A 95kg clock initially at rest on a horizontal floor requires a 560N horizontal force to set it in motion. After the clock is in
miv72 [106K]

Complete Question

A 95 kg clock initially at rest on a horizontal floor requires a 650 N horizontal force to set it in motion. After the clock is in motion, a horizontal force of 560 N keeps it moving with a constant velocity. Find the coefficient of static friction and the coefficient of kinetic friction.

Answer:

The value for static friction is \mu_s =  0.60

The value for static friction is \mu_k =  0.70

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the clock is m  =  95 \  kg

The first horizontal force is F _s  =  560 \  N

    The second horizontal force is    F _k  =  650  \  N

Generally the static frictional force is equal to the first  horizontal force

So

     F _s  =  m  *  g  *  \mu_s

=>   560  =  95  *  9.8  *  \mu_s

=>    \mu_s =  0.60

Generally the kinetic frictional force is equal to the second horizontal force

So

      F _k  =  m  *  g  *  \mu_k

      650 =  95  *  9.8  *  \mu_k

     \mu_k =  0.70

A car travels at a constant speed up a ramp making an angle of 28 degrees with the horizontal component of velocity is 40 kmh^-1
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

Vx = 35.31 [km/h]

Vy = 18.77 [km/h]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must decompose the velocity component by means of the angle of 28° using the cosine function of the angle.

v_{x} = 40*cos(28)\\V_{x} = 35.31 [km/h]

In order to find the vertical component, we must use the sine function of the angle.

V_{y}=40*sin(28)\\V_{y} = 18.77 [km/h]
