<span>Force F = 280 N Angle with the ground = 40 degrees Weight of the Lawnmower = 350 N Velocity is constant so Acceleration is 0 So Forward force Ff = F cos theta = 280 cos40 Frictional force with resists to back Fb = (u x Force from pressure) + vertical component of Force, where u is the coefficient of friction. Fb = (u x m x g) + (u x 280sin40) AS Ff = Fb => 280 cos40 = u x ((m x g) + 280sin40) u = 280 cos40 / ((350 x 9.81) + 280sin40) = 214.49 / () = 0.405 So the coefficient of friction u = 0.405</span>

Answer:

µ= 0.405

Explanation:

Acceleration is 0 (constant V), so all the forces in the horizontal direction must add up to 0. Specifically those are these two:

Horizontal component of the force of (F1). It acts FORWARD.  

F1 = F*cosθ = 280cos40 N

Force of friction

F(fr) = µ*(total pressure force).

Two forces are creating the pressure force (Fp).

The other is the vertical component of F It's equal to

F*sinθ = 280sin40.

Then the friction force

F(fr) = µ*(mg + 280sin40)

Since

F1 = F(fr),

280cos40 = µ*(mg + 280sin40)

µ = 280cos40 / (mg + 280sin40)

µ= 0.405

Imagine you are sitting on a sled and someone is about to push you down a hill. Which statement is accurate?
Dima020 [189]

The answer is:

Forces acting on the sled are paired with equal and opposite forces.

The explanation:

About to push you, this means that he doesn't push yet. If the sled is on level ground and no one is pushing it, then forces are equal and opposite.

The gravity force pulls down and the ground pushes up.

This is Newton's third law:

Newton's third law: If an object A exerts a force on object B, then object B must exert a force of equal magnitude and opposite direction back on object A.

This law represents a certain symmetry in nature: forces always occur in pairs, and one body cannot exert a force on another without experiencing a force itself.

We can also see Newton’s third law at work by taking a look at how people move about. Consider a swimmer pushing off from the side of a pool.

What do we mean when we describe forces as balanced?
aivan3 [116]

Well, first, let's recognize that there is no such thing as a force that is
balanced or unbalanced.

When we say that a group of two or more forces is balanced, we mean
that when you add up all the magnitudes and directions of the forces, the
whole group adds up to zero, so they have the same net effect as if there
were no force at all.

Oil of specific gravity 0.75 flows through a smooth contraction in a pipe at a volumetric flow rate of 3.2 cu ft / sec.Find the
pogonyaev

Answer:

The force required to hold the contraction in place is 665.91 N ↑

Explanation:

Given;

specific gravity of oil, γ = 0.75

Volumetric flow rate, V 3.2 Ft³/s = 0.0906 m³/s

\gamma =\frac{\rho_o}{\rho_w}

where;

\rho_o is the density of oil

\rho_w is the density of water = 1000 kg/m³

∴density of oil (\rho_o) = γ × density of water(\rho_w)

                               = 0.75 × 1000 kg/m³

                                = 750kg/m³

Buoyant Force = ρVg

                         = 750 × 0.0906 × 9.8

                         = 665.91 N ↑

This force acts upward or opposite gravitational force.

Therefore, the force required to hold the contraction in place is 665.91 N ↑
