Transmission of information in ANY form can be done digitally
or analoguely.
Beginning about 30 years ago, everything slowly started changing
to digital. Today, all commercial satellite communication, all optical
fiber communication, all internet communication, all computer
communication, all commercial cable communication, all commercial
television, and much of the telephone system, are all digital.
On your computer ... .pdf, .jpg, .mp3 etc. are all digital methods of
moving and storing information.
AM and FM radio are an interesting subject. They're all still analog.
They could easily be changed to all digital, and it would be a big
improvement, both for the broadcasters and for the listeners.
BUT ... every AM and FM radio that anybody has now would be
obsolete. Every single radio would either need to be replaced,
OR you'd need to add a digital decoder to every radio, like we
had to do with our TV sets a few years ago when television
suddenly became all digital. With AM and FM radios, the decoders
would be bigger, and would cost more, than most of the radios.
And that's why commercial radio broadcasting is still analog.
Answer: N = Mgcos(theta)
Therefore, the Normal reaction force is equal to Mgcos(theta)
Explanation:
See attached for a sketch.
From the attachment.
.
N = normal reaction force on block
W = weight of the block
theta = angle of the inclined plane to the horizontal
From the sketch, we can see that
N is equal in magnitude but opposite direction to Wy
N = Wy
And
Wy = Wcos(theta)
Wx = Wsin(theta)
Then,
N = Wy = Wcos(theta)
But W = mass × acceleration due to gravity = mg
N = Mgcos(theta)
Therefore, the Normal reaction force is equal to Mgcos(theta)
Absorb kinetic energy and soften potentially damaging blows.
