Answer:

1655.5 N

Explanation:

We resolve the forces on the rope into horizontal and vertical components. Since the only vertical force exerted on the rope is the weight of the man, this weight equals the vertical components of the tensions on both sides of the rope .

The only horizontal forces acting on the rope are horizontal components of both tensions on both sides. Since the hiker doesn't move sideways, they cancel out and he is balanced. So, the net horizontal force is zero.

Let T be the tension in the rope. So, each vertical component on side A is Tsin35° and that on side B is Tsin65°. Let the weight of the man be W = mg where m = mass of hiker = 250 kg and g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s².

So, since the hiker balances, Tsin35° + Tsin65° = mg

0.5736T + 0.9063T = 250 kg × 9.8 m/s²

1.4799T = 2450 N

dividing both sides by 1.4799, we have

T = 2450 N/1.4799

T = 1655.52 N

T ≅ 1655.5 N

So, the tension in the rope equals T = 1655.5 N

An ideal monatomic gas at 275 K expands adiabatically and reversibly to six times its volume. What is its final temperature (in
Gwar [14]

The final temperature is 83 K.

<u>Explanation</u>:

For an adiabatic process,

T {V}^{\gamma - 1} = \text{constant}

\cfrac{{T}_{2}}{{T}_{1}} = {\left( \cfrac{{V}_{1}}{{V}_{2}} \right)}^{\gamma - 1}

Given:-

{T}_{1} = 275 \; K  

{T}_{2} = T \left( \text{say} \right)

{V}_{1}  = V

{V}_{2} = 6V

\gamma = \cfrac{5}{3} \;    (the gas is monoatomic)

\therefore \cfrac{T}{275} = {\left( \cfrac{V}{6V} \right)}^{\frac{5}{3} - 1}

 

\Rightarrow \cfrac{T}{275} = {\left( \cfrac{1}{6} \right)}^{\frac{2}{3}}  

T  =  275 \times 0.30

T  =  83 K.

Two forces (4N and 3N) pull your the left, while a 12N force pulls to the right. What is the net force
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

The answer is 11N to the right

Explanation:

Because 4N-3N= 1N

Therefore, 12N-1N=11N

The netforce is 11N to the right, because the greatest force is 12N to the right so it is more likely that the object is being pulled to the right.

A radar antenna is tracking a satellite orbiting the earth. At a certain time, the radar screen shows the satellite to be 118 km
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

x component 60.85 m

y component 101.031 m

Explanation:

We have given distance r = 118 km

Angle which makes from ground = 58.9°

(a) X component of distance  is given by r_x=rcos\Theta =118\times cos58.9=118\times 0.5165=118=60.85m

(b) Y component of distance is given by r_Y=rcos\Theta =118\times sin58.9=118\times 0.8562=101.0316m

These are the x and y component of position vector
