Answer:
F = 3.6 kN, direction is 9.6º to the North - East
Explanation:
The force is a vector, so one method to find the solution is to work with the components of the vector as scalars and then construct the resulting vector.
Let's use trigonometry to find the component of the forces, let's use a reference frame where the x-axis coincides with the East and the y-axis coincides with the North.
Wind
X axis
F₁ = 2.50 kN
Tide
cos 30 = F₂ₓ / F₂
sin 30 = F_{2y} / F₂
F₂ₓ = F₂ cos 30
F_{2y} = F₂ sin 30
F₂ₓ = 1.20cos 30 = 1.039 kN
F_{2y} = 1.20 sin 30 = 0.600 kN
the resultant force is
X axis
Fₓ = F₁ₓ + F₂ₓ
Fₓ = 2.50 +1.039
Fₓ = 3,539 kN
F_y = F_{2y}
F_y = 0.600
to find the vector we use the Pythagorean theorem
F = 
F = 
F = 3,589 kN
the address is
tan θ = F_y / Fₓ
θ = tan⁻¹ 
θ = tan⁻¹ 
0.6 / 3.539
θ = 9.6º
the resultant force to two significant figures is
F = 3.6 kN
the direction is 9.6º to the North - East
Since, the options are not given the question is incomplete the complete question is as follows.:
Which of the following is a major way in which oceans contribute to weather systems?
provide a diverse habitat for many organisms
experience changes in amounts of dissolved salts
store and transport the Sun's heat energy
reach depths that can be as much as 12000 meters
Answer: Store and transport the Sun's heat energy.
Explanation:
Oceanic currents are just like a conveyor belt. It helps in transportation of the warm water and the precipitation from the equator to the poles and the cold water in the poles towards the tropics. This way the oceans counteract the uneven distribution of the radiation of sun that reaches upto the surface earth. This will regulate the global climate.
Answer:
Statement 1 and 3 are correct.
Explanation:
1. The mass moves downward, so the net acceleration of the block is straight downward.
2.The mass is sliding through the globe, so only the force of gravity is acting on the mass which pulls it in downward direction. The force of gravity has two components [mg sin∅] and [mg cos∅].
