1)Determine, in terms of unit vectors, the resultant of the five forces illustrated in the figure, Consider F1=20 N, F2= 12 N, F

LiRa [457]

Explanation:

1) F₁ lies in a plane perpendicular to the xy plane, 60° from the x axis. The angle between F₁ and the +z axis is 30°. Therefore, the vector is:

<F₁> = 20 (sin 30° cos 60° i + sin 30° sin 60° j + cos 30° k)

<F₁> = 20 (¼ i + ¼√3 j + ½√3 k)

<F₁> = 5 i + 5√3 j + 10√3 k

F₂ is in the xy plane. Its slope is -24/7. The vector is:

<F₂> = 12 (-⁷/₂₅ i + ²⁴/₂₅ j + 0 k)

<F₂> = -3.36 i + 11.52 j

F₃ is parallel to the +x axis. The vector is:

<F₃> = 17 (i + 0 j + 0 k)

<F₃> = 17 i

F₄ is parallel to the -z axis. The vector is:

<F₄> = 15 (0 i + 0 j − k)

<F₄> = -15 k

F₅ is in the xy plane. It forms a 15° angle with the -y axis. The vector is:

<F₅> = 9 (-sin 15° i − cos 15° j + 0 k)

<F₅> = -9 sin 15° i − 9 cos 15° j

The resultant vector is therefore:

<F> = (5 − 3.36 + 17 − 9 sin 15°) i + (5√3 + 11.52 − 9 cos 15°) j + (10√3 − 15) k

<F> = 16.31 i + 11.49 j + 2.32 k

2) Sum of forces at point B in the x direction:

∑F = ma

Tbc cos 40° − ¹⁵/₁₇ Tab = 0

Tbc cos 40° = ¹⁵/₁₇ Tab

Tbc = 1.15 Tab

Sum of forces at point B in the y direction:

∑F = ma

Tbc sin 40° + ⁸/₁₇ Tab − mAg = 0

Tbc sin 40° + ⁸/₁₇ Tab = (2 kg) (10 m/s²)

(1.15 Tab) sin 40° + ⁸/₁₇ Tab = 20 N

1.21 Tab = 20 N

Tab = 16.52 N

Tbc = 19.02 N

Sum of forces at point C in the x direction:

∑F = ma

Tcd sin 25° − Tbc cos 40° = 0

Tcd sin 25° = Tbc cos 40°

Tcd = 1.81 Tbc

Tcd = 34.48 N

3(a) When the crane is on the verge of tipping, the center of gravity is directly over point F. Relative to point A:

3.7 m = [ (390 kg) (0.9 m) + (90 kg) (9 m cos θ + 1.7 m) + (80 kg) (9 m cos θ + 2.9 m) ] / (390 kg + 90 kg + 80 kg)

2072 kgm = 351 kgm + 810 kgm cos θ + 153 kgm + 720 kgm cos θ + 232 kgm

1336 kgm = 1530 kgm cos θ

θ = 29.17°

3(b) 3.7 m = [ (390 kg) (0.9 m) + (90 kg) (x + 1.7 m) + (80 kg) (x + 2.9 m) ] / (390 kg + 90 kg + 80 kg)

2072 kgm = 351 kgm + (90 kg) x + 153 kgm + (80 kg) x + 232 kgm

1336 kgm = (170 kg) x

x = 7.86 m

4) Find the lengths of the cables.

Lab = √((2 m)² + (3 m)² + (5 m)²)

Lab = √38 m

Lac = √((2 m)² + (3 m)² + (5 m)²)

Lac = √38 m

Lde = √((2 m)² + (3 m)²)

Lde = √13 m

Sum of forces in the x direction:

∑F = ma

-5/√38 Fab − 5/√38 Fac − 2/√13 Fde + Rx = 0

Sum of forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

2/√38 Fab − 2/√38 Fac = 0

Fab = Fac

Sum of forces in the z direction:

∑F = ma

3/√38 Fab + 3/√38 Fac + 3/√13 Fde − mg = 0

Sum of moments about the y-axis:

∑τ = Iα

(3/√38 Fab) (5 m) + (3/√38 Fac) (5 m) + (3/√13 Fde) (2 m) − (mg) (2 m) = 0

Substitute Fab = Fac and simplify:

6/√38 Fab + 3/√13 Fde − mg = 0

30/√38 Fab + 6/√13 Fde − 2mg = 0

Double first equation:

12/√38 Fab + 6/√13 Fde − 2mg = 0

Subtract from the second equation:

28/√38 Fab = 0

Fab = 0

Fac = 0

Solve for Fde:

3/√38 Fab + 3/√38 Fac + 3/√13 Fde − mg = 0

3/√13 Fde = mg

3/√13 Fde = (1.7 kg) (10 m/s²)

Fde = 20.43 N

Solve for Rx:

-5/√38 Fab − 5/√38 Fac − 2/√13 Fde + Rx = 0

Rx = 2/√13 Fde

Rx = 11.33 N

What are the genotypes of gametes of a aabb self-pollination??

Rus_ich [418]

All of the possibilities would be aabb. There are no dominant traits to come through from the self pollinating plant so therefore, the offspring would would have the same genotypes.

I apologize for the messy graph in advance. If you have any further questions please let me know

A charge 3q is at the origin, and a charge −2q is on the positive x axis at x=a. part a where on the x-axis would you place a th

Mila [183]

Answer:

$x = a + \frac{a\sqrt2}{\sqrt3 - \sqrt2}$

Explanation:

Position of charge 3q is x = 0

position of charge -2q is x = a

so here we know that

when two charges are of opposite nature then the electric field will be zero on the line joining the two charges at the position near to smaller magnitude charge

So here the electric field will be zero if the field due to 3q is counterbalanced by field due to -2q

so here we can say

$\frac{k(3q)}{(r+a)^2} + \frac{k(-2q)}{r^2} = 0$

$\frac{3}{(r + a)^2} = \frac{2}{r^2}$

$\frac{r+a}{r} = \sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}$

$1 + \frac{a}{r} =\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}$

$\frac{a}{r} = \frac{\sqrt3 - \sqrt2}{\sqrt2}$

so we will have

$r = \frac{a\sqrt2}{\sqrt3 - \sqrt2}$

so the x coordinate of this position is given as

$x = a + \frac{a\sqrt2}{\sqrt3 - \sqrt2}$

natima [27]

Answer:

2.12 J

Explanation:

Initial kinetic energy = final elastic energy + work by friction

KE = EE + W

KE = ½ kx² + W

5 J = ½ (1600 N/m) (0.06 m)² + W

W = 2.12 J

A ball of a mass 0.3 kg is released from rest at a height of 8 m. How fast is it going when it hits the ground? Acceleration due

Vaselesa [24]

In order to solve this problem, there are two equations that you need to know to solve this problem and pretty much all of kinematics. The first is that d=0.5at^2 (d=vertical distance, a=acceleration due to gravity and t=time). The second is vf-vi=at (vf=final velocity, vi=initial velocity, a=acceleration due to gravity, t=time). So to find the time that the ball traveled, isolate the t-variable from the d=0.5at^2. Isolate the t and the equation now becomes $\sqrt{(2d)/a}$ . Solving the equation where d=8 and a=9.8 makes the time $\sqrt{(2*8)/9.8}$ =1.355 seconds. With the second equation, the vi=0 m/s, the vf is unknown, a=9.8 m/s^2 and t=1.355 sec. Substitute all these values into the equation vf-vi=at, this makes it vf-0=9.8(1.355). This means that the vf=13.28 m/s.
