Answer:

B. It has mass

Explanation:

The Newtons Universal gravitacion law is : F = G.\frac{m1 m2}{d^{2} }  , where <u>F</u> is the force exerted , <u>m1</u> and <u>m2</u> are the earth's mass and the object's mass, <u>d</u> is the distance and <u>G</u> the gravitacional constant. Comparing to the options we can say that the Earth exerts a gravitational force on objects on its surface because of its mass.

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

Explanation:

the center of mass formula

Ycm= [(m₁y₁) + (m₂y₂) + (m₃y₃)] / (m₁+m₂+m₃)

Rope forms the x axis and position of centre of different massses are above or below it so they represent their location on y - axis.

y₁ = 1.6 , y₂ = .7 and y₃ = - 2.1

Ycm ( given ) = - .5

Putting the values of masses and positions

- .5 = 80 x 1.6 + 20 x .7 + m₃ x - 2.1 / ( 80 + 20 + m₃ )

- .5 = 128  + 14  + m₃ x - 2.1 / ( 100+ m₃ )

- 50 - .5 m₃ = 142 - 2.1 m₃

1.6 m₃ = 192

m₃ = 120 kg .

B )

Total downward force is weight of  total mass  = 80 + 20 + 120

= 220 kg

weight = 220  x 9.8 = 2156 N .

component of weight perpendicular to rope

= 2156 cos 15 = 2082.53 N

This force will be equally distributed over each tree , so force on each tree =  2082.53 / 2 = 1041.26 N .
