Answer:

The unknown force will be 18.116 lb.

Explanation:

Given that,

Three forces act on a flange as shown in figure.

The net force acting on the flange is a minimum.

\dfrac{dF_{net}}{df}=0

We need to calculate the unknown force

Using formula of net force

\vec{F_{net}}=\vec{F_{x}}+\vec{F_{y}}

Put the value into the formula

\vec{F_{net}}=(F\cos45+70\cos30-40)\hat{i}+(70\sin30-F\sin45)\hat{j}

\vec{F_{net}}=(F\cos45+70\times\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2})\hat{i}+(70\times\dfrac{1}{2}-F\sin45)\hat{j}

The magnitude of net force,

F_{net}=\sqrt{F_{x}^2+F_{y}^2}

F_{net}=\sqrt{(F\times\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}+60.62)^2+(35-F\times\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}})^2}

F_{net}=\sqrt{F^2+(60.62)^2+121.24\times\dfrac{F}{\sqrt{2}}+(35)^2-70\times\dfrac{F}{\sqrt{2}}}

F_{net}=\sqrt{F^2+4899.78+36.232F}

On differentiating w.r.to F

(\dfrac{dF_{net}}{dF})^2=2F+36.232

0=2F+36.232

F=-\dfrac{36.232}{2}

F=-18.116\ lb

Negative sign shows the direction of force which is downward.

Hence, The unknown force will be 18.116 lb.

9. ¿Por qué no es lo mismo distancia que desplazamiento?
masya89 [10]

Answer:

Distance is a scalar quantity that refers to "how much ground an object has covered" during its motion. Displacement is a vector quantity that refers to "how far out of place an object is"; it is the object's overall change in position.

a diver of mass 101 kg jumps upward off a diving board into water. Diving board is 6m above water. Diver has a speed of 1.2m/s.
8090 [49]
When the diver reaches maximum height, the upward velocity will be zero.

We shall use the formula
v^2 = u^2 - 2gh
where 
v = 0 (velocity at maximum height)
u = 1.2 m/s, intial upward velocity
g = -9.8 m/s^2, gravitational acceleration (downward)
h = maximum height attained above the diving board.

Therefore
0 = 1.2^2 - 2*9.8*h
h = 1.2^2/(2*9.8) = 0.0735 m

Answer: 0.074 m (nearest thousandth)

Here's a basketball problem: A 87.2 kg basketball player is running in the positive direction at 7.0 m/s. She is met head-on by
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

2.47 m/s backwards

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of momentum,

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂...................... Equation 1

Where m₁ and m₂ = mass of the first basketball player and second basket ball player respectively, u₁ and u₂ = initial velocity of the first basket player and the second basketball player respectively, v₁ and v₂ = The final velocity of the first basket ball player and second basket ball player respectively.

Making v₁ the subject of the equation,

v₁ = (m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ - m₂v₂)/m₁.......................... Equation 2.

Given: m₁ = 87.2 kg, m₂ = 102.0 kg, u₁ = 7.0 m/s, u₂ = -5.2 m/s, v₂ = 2.9 m/s

Note: u₂ is negative because it moves towards the first basket ball player.

Substitute into equation 2

v₁ = [87.2(7.0)+102(-5.2) - (102×2.9)]/87.2

v₁ = (610.4-530-295.8)/87.2

v₁ = -215.4/87.2

v₁ = -2.47 m/s.

Thus the velocity of the 87.2 kg player = 2.47 m/s backwards.
