Answer:  

a) the magnitude of r is  184.62

b) the direction is 37.74° south of the negative x-axis

   

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

as illustrated in the image blow;

To find the the magnitude of r, we will use the Pythagoras theorem

r² = y² + x²

r = √( y² + x²)

we substitute

r = √((-113)² + (-146)²)

r = √(12769 + 21316 )

r = √(34085 )

r = 184.62

Therefore, the magnitude of r is  184.62

To find its direction, we need to find ∅

from SOH CAH TOA

tan = opposite / adjacent

tan∅ = -113 / -146

tan∅ = 0.77397

∅ = tan⁻¹( 0.77397 )

∅ = 37.74°

Therefore, the direction is 37.74° south of the negative x-axis

A uniform disk of mass m = 2.4 kg and radius R = 25 cm can rotate about an axle through its center. Four forces are acting on it
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

0 Nm

Explanation:

Torque is the cross product of the radius vector and the force vector.

τ = r × F

In other words, the magnitude of the torque is equal to the magnitude of the radius times the magnitude of the force times the sine of the angle between them.

τ = rF sin θ

Since F₃ is parallel to the radius vector, θ = 0, so τ = 0.

5. A helicopter scoops a load of water out of a lake, to dump on a forest fire. The helicopter exerts 6480
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

h = 250 m

Explanation:

Given that,

The helicopter exerts 6480  N of force on the water while rising high enough to fly over a mountain.

The helicopter does 1.62\times 10^6\ J of work on the water lifting it.

We need to find how high does it lift the water. Work done is given by :

W=Fh\\\\h=\dfrac{W}{F}\\\\h=\dfrac{1.62\times 10^6}{6480}\\\\h=250\ m

So, it can lift the water to a height of 250 m.
