Answer:
(a) 42 N
(b)36.7 N
Explanation:
Nomenclature
F= force test line (N)
W : fish weight (N)
Problem development
(a) Calculating of weight of the heaviest fish that can be pulled up vertically, when the line is reeled in at constant speed
We apply Newton's first law of equlibrio because the system moves at constant speed:
∑Fy =0
F-W= 0
42N -W =0
W = 42N
(b) Calculating of weight of the heaviest fish that can be pulled up vertically, when the line is reeled with an acceleration whose magnitude is 1.41 m/s²
We apply Newton's second law because the system moves at constant acceleration:
m= W/g , m= W/9.8 , m:fish mass , W: fish weight g:acceleration due to gravity
∑Fy =m*a
m= W/g , m= W/9.8 , m:fish mass , W: fish weight g:acceleration due to gravity
F-W= ( W/9.8 )*a
42-W= ( W/9.8 )*1.41
42= W+0.1439W
42=1.1439W
W= 42/1.1439
W= 36.7 N
Answer:
A scalar quantity is defined as the physical quantity that has only magnitude, for example, mass and electric charge. On the other hand, a vector quantity is defined as the physical quantity that has both magnitude as well as direction like force and weight.
Since it was stated that it must move at constant
velocity, so the only force it must overpower is the frictional force.
So the equation is:
F cos θ = Ff
F cos 36 = 65 N
F = 80.34 N
