Answer:
Explanation:
Applied force, F = 18 N
Coefficient of static friction, μs = 0.4
Coefficient of kinetic friction, μs = 0.3
θ = 27°
Let N be the normal reaction of the wall acting on the block and m be the mass of block.
Resolve the components of force F.
As the block is in the horizontal equilibrium, so
F Cos 27° = N
N = 18 Cos 27° = 16.04 N
As the block does not slide so it means that the syatic friction force acting on the block balances the downwards forces acting on the block .
The force of static friction is μs x N = 0.4 x 16.04 = 6.42 N .... (1)
The vertically downward force acting on the block is mg - F Sin 27°
= mg - 18 Sin 27° = mg - 8.172 ... (2)
Now by equating the forces from equation (1) and (2), we get
mg - 8.172 = 6.42
mg = 14.592
m x 9.8 = 14.592
m = 1.49 kg
Thus, the mass of block is 1.5 kg.
Answer:
A. The upward pressure gradient force is balanced by gravity.
Explanation:
A. is correct because the pressure difference is actually generated by gravity. As in the following formula for the pressure at different points:
where are the pressure at 2 points, ρ is the density of the fluid, g is the gravitational constant, and h is the height difference.
B is incorrect because friction in air is too small to make an effect.
C is incorrect because the Coriolis force is horizontal, not vertical.
D is incorrect because a difference of 500 hPa = 50000 Pa, this is half of the atmospheric pressure.
E is incorrect because temperature cannot generate force.
