Answer:

T = 18.529 KN

Explanation:

We are given that;

Mass; m = 1683 kg

Upwards, acceleration; a = 1.2 m/s²

Downwards, acceleration due to gravity; g = 9.81 m/s²

Time; t = 2.75s

Now, The tension in the cable exerts a force up while gravity exerts a force down. The mass has an upward acceleration and thus, there are no horizontal forces.

We will take up as positive.

Thus,

Fnet is given as; F = T - W

W = mg while F = ma. and so,

ma = T - mg

Where t is Tension in cable.

Thus,

T = ma + mg

T = m(a + g)

T = 1683(1.2 + 9.81)

T = 1683(11.01) = 18529N = 18.529 KN

Answer:

the tension is 18513N

Explanation:

Given that

mass = 1683kg

acceleration = 1.2m/s^2

acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s^2

T-mg =   ma

T = ma + mg

T = m(a +g)

T = 1683 kg(1.20 m/s2 + 9.8)

T = 1683 (11)

T = 18513N

therefore, the tension is 18513N

If the torque required to loosen a nut that holds a wheel on a car has a magnitude of 55 n·m, what force must be exerted at the
erastova [34]

Either 175 N or 157 N depending upon how the value of 48° was measured from.    
You didn't mention if the angle of 48° is from the lug wrench itself, or if it's from the normal to the lug wrench. So I'll solve for both cases and you'll need to select the desired answer.    
Since we need a torque of 55 N·m to loosen the nut and our lug wrench is 0.47 m long, that means that we need 55 N·m / 0.47 m = 117 N of usefully applied force in order to loosen the nut. This figure will be used for both possible angles.    
Ideally, the force will have a 0° degree difference from the normal and 100% of the force will be usefully applied. Any value greater than 0° will have the exerted force reduced by the cosine of the angle from the normal. Hence the term "cosine loss".     
If the angle of 48° is from the normal to the lug wrench, the usefully applied power will be:  
U = F*cos(48)  
where  
U = Useful force  
F = Force applied    
So solving for F and calculating gives:  
U = F*cos(48)  
U/cos(48) = F  
117 N/0.669130606 = F  
174.8537563 N = F    
So 175 Newtons of force is required in this situation.    
If the 48° is from the lug wrench itself, that means that the force is 90° - 48° = 42° from the normal. So doing the calculation again (this time from where we started plugging in values) we get  
U/cos(42) = F  
117/0.743144825 = F  
157.4390294 = F    
Or 157 Newtons is required for this case.

Light incident on a lake surface is partly reflected and partly refracted.What is the differences between the reflected ray and
iren2701 [21]

Answer: As per the question, a ray of light is incident on a surface and it is partly reflected and refracted. The incident light is an unpolarised light. The reflected light is partially polarised.

If the angle of incidence becomes equal to the Brester angle (polarising angle), then the reflected light is completely plane polarised.

A cat dozes on a stationary merry-go-round, at a radius of 5.5 m from the center of the ride. Then the operator turns on the rid
bixtya [17]

Answer:

u_{s}=0.56

Explanation:

For the cat to stay in place on the merry go round without sliding the magnitude of maximum static friction must be equal to magnitude of centripetal force

F_{s.max}=\frac{mv^2}{r} \\

Where the r is the radius of merry-go-round and v is the tangential speed

but

F_{s.max}=u_{s}F_{N}=u_{s}mg

So we have

u_{s}mg=\frac{mv^2}{r}\\ u_{s}=\frac{v^2}{gr}\\ Where\\v=\frac{2\pi R}{T} \\So\\u_{s}=\frac{(\frac{2\pi R}{T} )^2}{gr} \\u_{s}=\frac{4\pi^2 r}{gT^2}

Substitute the given values

So

u_{s}=\frac{4\pi^2 5.5m}{(9.8m/s^2)(6.3s)^2} \\u_{s}=0.56
