Answer:

= 41.32N

To find N amount

You find the kg weight then times it by 10 then divide that amount by 1/2

So that 180pounds = 81.6466 x 10kg

x10 = 816.466

81.6466 / 2 = 40.8233

sin(30) = 40.8233/T

T = 40.8233/sin (30) = N / sin(30) = Tension = calculator = -41.3178070464 = 41.32 N

Mr. Wilson invested money in two accounts. His total investment was $20,000. If one account pays 5% in interest and the other pa

blagie [28]

a = amount invested at 5%

b = amount invested at 2%

now, we know the total invested by Mr Wilson was 20000, so whatever "a" and "b" might be, we know that a + b = 20000.

$a + b = 20000\implies b = 20000-a \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{5\% of a}}{\left( \cfrac{5}{100} \right)a}\implies 0.05a~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{2\% of b}}{\left( \cfrac{2}{100} \right)a}\implies \begin{array}{llll} 0.02b\\\\ \stackrel{substituting}{0.02(20000-a)} \end{array}$

now, we know the total of earned interest is 550 bucks, so then

$0.05a~~ + ~~0.02(20000-a)~~ = ~~550\implies 0.05a+400-0.02a=550 \\\\\\ 0.03a+400=550\implies 0.03a=150\implies a=\cfrac{150}{0.03}\implies a=5000 \\\\\\ ~\hspace{24em}\stackrel{20000~~ - ~~5000}{b=15000}$
