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

Y is directly related to x and y is 81 when x is 27 the constant of.variation is
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

k = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that y and x are directly related then the equation relating them is

y = kx ←  k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition y = 81 when x = 27

k = \frac{y}{x} = \frac{81}{27} = 3

What would 897,100 be if rounded to the nearest ten thousand?
Finger [1]
90,000

the reason is because look at the 1,000 place that rounds the 10,000 place to 0 and carries the 1 over to the 100,000 place
