Answer:

N = 198.3 N,  fr = 126.98 N and    μ = 0.64

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use the translational equilibrium condition.

Let's set a reference system with the x-axis horizontally and the y-axis vertical. Let's use trigonometry to decompose the applied force

      cos θ = Fₓ / F

      sin θ = F_y / F

      Fₓ = F cos θ

      F_y = F sin θ

      Fₓ = 159 cos 37 = 126.98 N

      F_y = 159 sin 37 = 95.69 N

Y axis  

    N + F_y - W = 0

    N = W - F_y

    N = 294 - 95.69

    N = 198.3 N

X axis

    Fₓ -fr = 0

     Fₓ = fr

     fr = 126.98 N

the expression for the friction force is

       fr = μ N

       μ = fr / N

       μ = 126.98 / 198.3

       μ = 0.64

Elan Coil [88]

The components of the net force on the cart is determined as 67.66 N.

<h3>Component of net force on the cart</h3>

The component of net force on the cart is determined by resolving the forces into x and y -components.

T1 = 30 N

T2 = 40 N

T1x = -30cos(0) = 30 N

T1y = 30sin(0) = 0

T2x = 40 x cos(30) = 34.64 N

T2y = 40 x sin(3) = 20 N

∑X = 30 N + 34.64 N = 64.64 N

∑Y = 0 + 20 N = 20 N

<h3>Resultant force</h3>

R = √(64.64² + 20²)

R = 67.66 N

A pendulum takes 6.0 seconds to swing through 5 complete cycles. What is the period of the pendulum?
photoshop1234 [79]
When you look at this, you might not be sure which way to divide ...
Should you divide  6 by 5  or  5 by 6 ?

Here's a case where you can use your units to decide.

The question wants to know the 'period'.  That's a length of time,
so the answer needs to have units of time.

If you divide 'cycles' be 'time', you'll get  'cycles/second'.
That's Hz.  It's frequency, not time.

If you divide 'time' by 'cycles', you'll get 'seconds/cycle'.
That's time, and it's exactly the definition of 'period'.

            Period  =  (6 seconds) / (5 cycles)

                         =    (6 / 5)  seconds/cycle

                         =     1.2  seconds

The concrete sections of a certain superhighway are designed to have a length of 23.0 m. The sections are poured and cured at 10
loris [4]

Answer:

0.88 cm

Explanation:

Initial length at 10°c, L = 23 m

Rise of temperature, Δt = 42 - 10 = 32°c

Coefficient of linear expansion of concrete, α = 12 x 10^(-6) per°c

Minimum spacing to be left = α L Δt

=12\times10^{-6}\times23\times32

=8.832\times10^{-3}m

= 8.832 x 10^{-1} cm

= 0.88 cm

Note: I have a chosen a general value of 12 x 10^-6 per deg c for coefficient of expansion of  concrete. However, please refer to the value given in your text book and substitute it for an accurate answer.
