A 5.8kg box is on a frictionless 45∘ slope and is connected via a massless string over a massless, frictionless pulley to a hang

ing 2.1kg weight.What is the tension in the string if the 5.8kg box is held in place, so that it cannot move?What is the tension in the string once the box begins to move?

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

liraira [26]

Answer:

No she doesn't have enough paint.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to find the area of both walls then subtract both areas by 250. It would give you a negative number, meaning there is not enough paint.

Jalen made $533.75 while working at his job. He makes $15.25 an hour, how many hours did he work to make that amount of money?
mixer [17]

Answer:

35 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Typically, people get their paycheck after 2 weeks.

Let say he worked 8 hours a day, a typical amount of hours for the average human who has a occupation.

Multiply the amount of hours by the amount payed every hour.

So 15.25 x 8 is 122

( so in 8 hours jalen made $122)

Add 8 hours, which would now be 16 hours worked.

16 x 15.25 = 244

(so in 16 hours jalen made $244)

Add another 8 hours of work time which would now be 24 hours (1 full day)

24x5.25=366

Add 10 hours on now which would be 34 hours worked (2 days = 48 hours meaning she worked 1 day and 10 hours )

34x15.25=518.50

(getting closer to the amount she earned)

So if we add another hour

which would be 35 hours worked (1 day 11 hours)

35 x 15.25 = 533.75

Therefore, Jalen worked 35 hours.
