Given :

An inclined plane is used to lift a box into a moving truck. The ramp is 6 m long and 1.5 m.

To Find :

The mechanical advantage of the inclined plane.

Solution :

Mechanical advantage, M.A of an inclined plane is given by :

M.A = \dfrac{\text{Length of slope}}{\text{Height of plane}}

Putting given values in above equation, we get :

M.A = \dfrac{6 \ m}{1.5 \ m}\\\\M.A = 4

Therefore, the mechanical advantage of the inclined plane is 4.

uniform ladder of length 6.0 m and weight 300 N leans against a frictionless vertical wall. The foot of the ladder isplaced 3.0
olganol [36]

Answer:

Fx1 (6 m) sin 60 = 300 (3 m) cos 60  balancing torques about floor

Fx1 = 900 * 1/2 / 5.20 = 86.6 N  this is the horizontal force that must be supplied by the wall to balance torques about the floor

This is also equal to the static force of friction that must be applied at the point of contact with the floor to balance forces in the x-direction.

Fx1 = Fx2 = 86.6 N

Why do we see the sun before it actually rises in the morning?
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

It appears to rise and set because of the Earth's rotation on its axis. It makes one complete turn every 24 hours. It turns toward the east. As the Earth rotates toward the east, it looks like the sun is moving west.

Use the distance swan and the time elapsed in that interval.

Average velocity = distance / time

Average velocity = [4.0 m + 3.0m] / 3.2 s = 2.1875 m/s
