Answer:

  • R = ( 4.831 m , 1.469 m )
  • Magnitude of R = 5.049 m
  • Direction of R relative to the x axis= 16°54'33'

Explanation:

Knowing the magnitude and directions relative to the x axis, we can find the Cartesian representation of the vectors using the formula

\vec{A}= | \vec{A} | \ ( \ cos(\theta) \ , \ sin (\theta) \ )

where | \vec{A} | its the magnitude and θ.

So, for our vectors, we will have:

\vec{D}= 3.00 m \ ( \ cos(315) \ , \ sin (315) \ )

\vec{D}=  ( 2.121 m , -2.121 m )

and

\vec{E}= 4.50 m \ ( \ cos(53.0) \ , \ sin (53.0) \ )

\vec{E}= ( 2.71 m , 3.59 m )

Now, we can take the sum of the vectors

\vec{R} = \vec{D} + \vec{E}

\vec{R} = ( 2.121 \ m , -2.121 \ m ) + ( 2.71 \ m , 3.59 \ m )

\vec{R} = ( 2.121 \ m  + 2.71 \ m , -2.121 \ m + 3.59 \ m )

\vec{R} = ( 4.831 \ m , 1.469 \ m )

This is R in Cartesian representation, now, to find the magnitude we can use the Pythagorean theorem

|\vec{R}| = \sqrt{R_x^2 + R_y^2}

|\vec{R}| = \sqrt{(4.831 m)^2 + (1.469 m)^2}

|\vec{R}| = \sqrt{23.338 m^2 + 2.158 m^2}

|\vec{R}| = \sqrt{25.496 m^2}

|\vec{R}| = 5.049 m

To find the direction, we can use

\theta = arctan(\frac{R_y}{R_x})

\theta = arctan(\frac{1.469 \ m}{4.831 \ m})

\theta = arctan(0.304)

\theta = 16\°54'33''

As we are in the first quadrant, this is relative to the x axis.

Some machines do not multiply the force that is applied to them
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

Machine Efficiency

Explanation:

Efficiency is the percent of work put into a machine by the user (input work) that becomes work done by the machine (output work). The output work is always less than the input work because some of the input work is used to overcome friction. Therefore, efficiency is always less than 100 percent

A cylindrical storage tank has a radius of 1.35 m. When filled to a height of 3.45 m, it holds 14,014 kg of a liquid industrial
Kruka [31]

Answer:

709.93 kg/m³

Explanation:

Density: This can be defined as the ratio of the mass of a body to the volume of that body. The S.I unit of density is kg/m³

From the question above,

D = m/v.............................. Equation 1

Where D = density, m = mass, v = volume.

Note: The volume of the liquid is equal to the volume of the height occupied by the liquid in the container

Since the tank is cylindrical,

v = πr²h........................ Equation 2

Where r = radius of the the tank, h = height of the liquid in the tank

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

D = m/(πr²h)............... Equation 3

Given: m = 14014 kg, r = 1.35 m, h = 3.45 m, π = 3.14

Substitute into equation 3

D = 14014/(3.14×1.35²×3.45)

D = 14014/19.74

D = 709.93 kg/m³
