1/2 is half and he would buy half a pound of cheese
Step 1: learn to draw a free-body diagram. Read your school notes or look up a web site on the subject.
Step 2: Denote the angle of the ramp with the horizontal as theta=tan^(-1)(20/30)=33.69 degrees (approx.)
Step 3: denote the mass of the object as m=100 lb-mass.
Step 4: find force due to mass and gravity = -100g = -100 lb-force. (downwards), denoted by the vector F=(0,-100) lb-force.
Step 5: resolve force along incline:
Force parallel to incline = F1 = -100(cos(theta))
=-83.21 lb-force (negative => down the incline)
Step 6: resolve force perpendicular to incline
= F2 = -100(sin(theta)
=-55.47 lb-f (-ve =>into the incline)
By the way, this question is not calculus 3, but more mechanics, or physics. You have a better chance of getting answers if posted under "physics".
Answer:
5r + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
9r-5r+2+r=5r+2
\mathrm{Group\:like\:terms}
=9r-5r+r+2
\mathrm{Add\:similar\:elements:}\:9r-5r+r=5r
=5r+2
Mean = it's really just another word for average. You add all the values up together, and divide the sum by the number of values there are. So here :
9 + 13 + 9 + 10 + 10 + 9 + 10 + 10 + 11 + 9 = 100
And now, you count how many values there are ^ up there. There are 10 values (just count how many numbers there are) and then you have to divide 100 by 10.
100 ÷ 10 = 10
Your MEAN is : 10
