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

3. <span>The second piston will experience the same force as compared with the first. This is because since the </span>pressure is the same everywhere inside the fluid system,<span> the force is proportional to the surface area. We are told that both the first and the second piston have the same surface area, therefore, they will both experience the same force/pressure.


4. </span>The situation is much the same as number 3 above, with the exception that the second piston is twenty times larger than the first. Again, since the pressure is the same everywhere inside the fluid system, the force is proportional to the surface area. We are told that the second piston is 20 times larger than the first, therefore, the larger piston will experience 20 times larger the force of the small one.


6. The answer is TRUE. The <span>hydraulic </span>braking system<span> of most cars makes use of a vacuum servo (or booster), which is located between the </span>brake pedal<span> and the master cylinder piston. </span><span>This vacuum servo amplifies the force applied </span><span>from the </span>brake pedal<span>.</span>
