Two identical copper blocks are connected by a weightless, unstretchable cord through a frictionless pulley at the top of a thin

wedge. One edge of the wedge is vertical, and the tip makes an angle of 33. The block that hangs vertically weighs 2.85 kg, and the block on the incline weighs 2.94 kg. If the two blocks do not move, what is magnitude of the force of friction on the second second block

Answer:

13.6 N

Explanation:

Since one side of the wedge is vertical and the wedge makes and angle of 33 with the horizontal, the angle between the weight of the copper block on the incline and the incline is thus 90 - 33 = 57.

Let M be the mass of the block that hangs, m be the mass of the block on the incline and T be the tension in the weightless unstretchable cord.

We assume the motion is downwards in the direction of the hanging block, M.

We now write equations of motion for each block.

So

Mg - T = Ma    (1) and T - mgcos57 - F = ma where F is the frictional force on the block on the incline and a is their acceleration.

Now, since both blocks do not move, a = 0.

So, Mg - T = M(0) = 0     and T - mgcos57 - F = m(0) = 0

Mg - T = 0    (3) and T - mgcos57 - F = 0 (4)

From (3), T = Mg

Substituting T into (4), we have

T - mgcos57 - F = 0

Mg - mgcos57 - F = 0

So, Mg - mgcos57 = F  

F = Mg - mgcos57

F = (M - mcos57)g

Since g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s², and M = 2.94 kg and m = 2.85 kg.

We find F, thus

F = (2.94 kg - 2.85 kgcos57)9.8 m/s²

F = (2.94 kg - 2.85 kg × 0.5446)9.8 m/s²

F = (2.94 kg - 1.552 kg)9.8 m/s²

F = (1.388 kg)9.8 m/s²

F = 13.6024 kgm/s²

F ≅ 13.6 N

According to the Doppler Effect, which statement is true about a sound as it approaches you and then moves away.
Fiesta28 [93]
As the source approaches you, the sound waves are compressed, so
the pitch of the sound is higher than what the source is actually emitting.

Then, after it passes you and begins moving away, the sound waves
are stretched, so the pitch of the sound is lower than what the source
is actually emitting.

2. Tomas is hanging from a tree limb, that is inclined at a 65° angle. The force
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

57 N

Explanation:

Were are told that the force

of gravity on Tomas is 57 N.

And it acts at an inclined angle of 65°

Thus;

The vertical component of the velocity is; F_y = 57 sin 65

While the horizontal component is;

F_x = 57 cos 65

Thus;

F_y = 51.66 N

F_x = 24.09 N

The net force will be;

F_net = √((F_y)² + (F_x)²)

F_net = √(51.66² + 24.09²)

F_net = √3249.0837

F_net = 57 N
