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

How do the positions of the sun and moon affect what people do?
Verdich [7]

-- The position of the sun was originally the primary influence in determining
when people went to sleep and when they woke up.  Although it no longer
directly influences us, that pattern is so deeply ingrained in our make-up
that our behavior still largely coincides with the positions of the sun.

-- The position of the Moon was originally the primary influence in determining
the cycle of human female physiology.  Although it no longer directly influences
us, that pattern is so deeply ingrained in human make-up that the female cycle
still largely coincides with the positions of the Moon.

4896

0.85 x 45 x 128 = 4896

Change in energy = specific heat capacity x mass x change in temperature

A real power supply can be modeled as an ideal EMF of 60 Volts in series with an internal resistance. The voltage across the ter
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

5 ohms

Explanation:

Given:

EMF of the ideal battery (E) = 60 V

Voltage across the terminals of the battery (V) = 40 V

Current across the terminals (I) = 4 A

Let the internal resistance be 'r'.

Now, we know that, the voltage drop in the battery is given as:

V_d=Ir

Therefore, the voltage across the terminals of the battery is given as:

V= E-V_d\\\\V=E-Ir

Now, rewriting in terms of 'r', we get:

Ir=E-V\\\\r=\frac{E-V}{I}

Plug in the given values and solve for 'r'. This gives,

r=\frac{60-40}{4}\\\\r=\frac{20}{4}\\\\r=5\ ohms

Therefore, the internal resistance of the battery is 5 ohms.
