Answer:

a) T = 20.601 N

b) T = 9.4585 N

Step-by-step explanation:

The tension in the string if the 5.8 kg box is held in place, so that it cannot move can be obtained as follows

For m = 2.1 Kg

∑ Fy = 0

T - W = 0  ⇒  T = W = m*g

⇒  T = 2.1 Kg*9.81 m/s²

⇒  T = 20.601 N  (↑)

The tension in the string once the box begins to move can be obtained as follows

For M = 5.8 Kg

∑ Fx' = M*a

where x' is the direction of the slope

then

∑ Fx' = M*a   ⇒  <em>T - M*g*Sin ∅ = M*a    (I)</em>

For m = 2.1 Kg

∑ Fy = m*a

⇒  T - W = m*a

⇒  <em>T - m*g = m*a    (II)</em>

If we solve the system of equations that comprises <em>I</em> and <em>II</em> we will know T:

T = M*m*g*(Sin ∅ -1) / (m - M)

⇒  T = (5.8 Kg)(2.1 Kg)(9.81 m/s²)(Sin 45º - 1) / (2.1 Kg - 5.8 Kg)

⇒  T = 9.4585 N

What is the equation for the graph shown below?
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer: D

Explanation:

Since we don't know the y-value of the vertex, let's do this an easy way: plugging in.

Let's use the y intercept since that would be the easiest. Since x=0, the terms with x cancel, and you will get a leading result of -5

A) results in 2, so eliminate it

B) results in -2, so eliminate it

C) results in 5, so eliminate it

D) results in -5, so keep it

Since D was the only one that worked, that is our correct answer.
