Answer:
- 575.6 N at 40°
- 451.7 N at 55°
Step-by-step explanation:
Angles are measured from the direction of motion, so the "force made good" is the force in the rope multiplied by the cosine of the angle. If the forces in the ropes (in Newtons) are represented by x and y, then we have ...
x·cos(40°) +y·cos(55°) = 700
In order for the resultant to be in the direction of motion, the forces perpendicular to the direction of motion must cancel.
x·sin(40°) - y·sin(55°) = 0
Here, we have assumed that the positive direction for measuring 40° is the negative direction for measuring 55°. That is, the angles are measured in opposite directions from the direction of motion.
Any of the usual methods for solving systems of linear equations can be used to solve this set. My preference is to use a graphing calculator. It gives the answers summarized above.
Answer:
x ≈ 1.8 cm gives the greatest volume
Step-by-step explanation:
After cutting x cm from each corner in each direction, the cardboard can be folded up to make a box that is x cm deep and (12 -2x) by (10 -2x) in length and width. Clearly, values of x are limited to 5 or less, since cutting 5 cm from each side would leave a width of zero. Then the volume is given by ...
V = x(12 -2x)(10 -2x)
The plot below shows the value of this cubic equation for volume, and identifies the peak as (x, V) ≈ (1.8, 96.8). That is, a cut of 1.8 cm will result in a box of approximate volume 96.8 cm³.
