Answer:
(a) T= 38.4 N
(b) m= 26.67 kg
Explanation:
We apply Newton's second law:
∑F = m*a (Formula 1)
∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in Newton (N)
m : mass in kilograms (kg)
a : acceleration in meters over second square (m/s²)
Kinematics
d= v₀t+ (1/2)*a*t² (Formula 2)
d:displacement in meters (m)
t : time in seconds (s)
v₀: initial speed in m/s
vf: final speed in m/s
a: acceleration in m/s²
v₀=0, d=18 m , t=5 s
We apply the formula 2 to calculate the accelerations of the blocks:
d= v₀t+ (1/2)*a*t²
18= 0+ (1/2)*a*(5)²
a= (2*18) / ( 25) = 1.44 m/s²
to the right
We apply Newton's second law to the block A
∑Fx = m*ax
60-T = 15*1.44
60 - 15*1.44 = T
T = 38.4 N
We apply Newton's second law to the block B
∑Fx = m*ax
T = m*ax
38.4 = m*1.44
m= (38.4) / (1.44)
m = 26.67 kg
The first answer in the blank is pours out of you, the second answer in the space provided is diffuse. It is because a person who has an effusive personality will likely pour out his or her emotions while the motor oil will likely diffuse if this has been spilled out of the can.
To convert from newtons to kg in earth gravity, simply divide by 10 (or 9.8 if being specific). 645N = ~64.5kg
A, it's more about the force with leverage.
