Answer:
Work, W = 846.72 Joules
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of the watermelon, m = 4.8 kg
It is dropped from rest from the roof of 18 m building. We need to find the work done by the gravity on the watermelon from the roof to the ground. It is same as gravitational potential energy i.e.
W = mgh
W = 846.72 Joules
So, the work done by the gravity on the watermelon is 846.72 Joules. Hence, this is the required solution.
The tension in the first and second rope are; 147 Newton and 98 Newton respectively.
Given the data in the question
To find the Tension in each of the ropes, we make use of the equation from Newton's Second Laws of Motion:
Where F is the force, m is the mass of the object and a is the acceleration ( In this case the block is under gravity. Hence ''a" becomes acceleration due to gravity )
For the First Rope
Total mass hanging on it;
So Tension of the rope;
Therefore, the tension in the first rope is 147 Newton
For the Second Rope
Since only the block of mass 10kg is hang from the second, the tension in the second rope will be;
Therefore, the tension in the second rope is 98 Newton

B
Assume north and east as two sides of a right angled triangle. magnitude of the distance is then given by the length of the hypotenuse which is
where a = 1.2 km north
and b = 1.6 km east
magnitude = 2 km
Direction is given by the angle between them, that is atan(a/b) = 36.86 deg north of east = 53.1 deg east of north.
