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

What is population inversion and what is laser inversion?

hoa [83]

Answer:

Population inversion, in physics, the redistribution of atomic energy levels that takes place in a system so that laser action can occur. Although absorption and emission of energy is a continuous process, the statistical distribution (population) of atoms in the various energy states is constant. ...

laser inversion is photon that can stimulate the production of other photons of exactly the same wavelength because of stimulated emission of radiation.

Use the worked example above to help you solve this problem. An Alaskan rescue plane drops a package of emergency rations to str

Vlad [161]

Answer:

(a) The package lands 682 meters horizontally ahead from the point the package was dropped from the plane

(b) The horizontal component = 39.0 m/s

The vertical component = 171.55 m/s

Explanation:

The parameters given are;

Velocity of the plane, vₓ = 39.0 m/s

Height of the plane above the ground, h = 1.50 × 10² m = 1,500 m

(a) The time, t, before the package hits the ground when dropped from the plane is given by the relation;

h = u·t + 1/2×g×t²

Where:

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

u = Initial vertical velocity = 0 m/s

Hence;

1500 = 0×t + 1/2 × 9.81 × t² = 4.905·t²

∴ t = √(1500/4.905) = 17.49 s

The horizontal distance the package travels before landing = 17.49 × 39 ≈ 682 m

The package lands 682 meters horizontally ahead from the point the package was dropped from the plane

(b) The vertical velocity, $v_y$ , of the package just before landing is given by the relation;

$v_y$ ² = u² + 2·g·h

u = 0 m/s

∴ $v_y$ ² = 0 + 2×9.81×1500 = 29430 m²/s²

$v_y$ = √29430 = 171.55 m/s

Hence the horizontal component = 39.0 m/s

The vertical component = 171.55 m/s

$tan \theta = \dfrac{v_y}{v_x} = \dfrac{171.55}{39.0 } = 4.4$

∴ θ = tan⁻¹(4.4) = 77.19°.

Based on what you have read provide two positives and two negatives the Suarez family would face if they switch to organic farmi

arlik [135]

Hi, you did not enter the text about the Suarez family, which makes it impossible for this question to be answered accurately. However, from the context of your question, it is possible to see that you want to know two positive and negative points that the Suarez family would observe when starting a planting of organic agriculture.

Among the negative points, we can say that organic agriculture has a high cost, as the techniques used in it require a greater number of resources, which can make not only the service more expensive, but also the product. A second negative point is that the techniques used in organic agriculture are more difficult than the techniques used in conventional agriculture, since all management of organic crops must be carried out without the application of chemical products.

Among the positive points, we can say that the growing number of consumers of organic products can increase the profit that the family will have from the sale of these products. In addition, the family will have healthier, less polluted and more productive land.
