Answer: $T_1 = 77.2 \text N \newline T_2= 91.87 \text N$

Assuming the figure as attached.

The sum of Horizontal components of the Tension in the rope is zero or equal as they balance out each other. $T_1 sin40 \textdegree = T_2 sin50 \textdegree \newline T_1 = 1.19 T_2$

The sum of vertical components of the tension is equal to the weight of the block. $T_1 cos 40 \textdegree +T_2cos50 \textdegree = 120 \text N \newline 1.19T_2(0.766 )+T_2 0.64 = 120 \text N T_2 = 77.2 \text N T_1 = 1.19 T2 = 1.19 \times 77.2 \text N = 91.87 \text N$

The weight should be shared between the two string equally. Therefore, tension in each string, T is;

T = 120 N/2 = 60 N

The volume of a cylindrical tin can with a top and a bottom is to be 16π cubic inches. If a minimum amount of tin is to be used

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

h = 4 in

Explanation:

GIVEN DATA:

volume of tin $= 16 \pi$

we know that

volume of cylinder is $v = \pi r^2 h$

so,

$16 \pi = \pi r^2 h$

$16 = r^2 h$

$r = \sqrt{\frac{16}{h}}$

construct formula for surface area

$S = 2\pi r^2 + 2\pi rh$

$S = \frac{2v}{h} + 2 \sqrt{v \pi h}$

minimize the function wrt h

$S' = \frac{2v}{h^2} + \sqrt{\frac{v \pi}{h} = 0$

solving for h we have

$h = [\frac{4 v}{\pi}]^{1/3}$

we kow $v = 16 \pi$ so

h = 4 in

Two airplanes leave an airport at the same time. The velocity of the first airplane is 730 m/h at a heading of 65.3 ◦ . The velo

Answer:

Plane will 741.6959 m apart after 1.7 hour

Explanation:

We have given time = 1.7 hr

So if we draw the vectors of a 2d graph we see that the difference in angles is = $102^{\circ}-65.3^{\circ}=36.7^{\circ}$

Speed of first plane = 730 m/h

So distance traveled by first plane = 730×1.7 = 1241 m

Speed of second plane = 590 m/hr

So distance traveled by second plane = 590×1.7 = 1003 m

We represent these distances as two sides of the triangle, and the distance between the planes as the side opposing the angle 58.6.

Using the law of cosine, $r^2$ representing the distance between the planes, we see that:

$r^2=1241^2+1003^2-2\times 1003\times 1241cos(36.7)=550112.8295$

r = 741.6959 m
