The magnitudes of the forces that the ropes must exert on the knot connecting are :

  • F₁ = 118 N
  • F₂ = 89.21 N
  • F₃ = 57.28 N

<u>Given data :</u>

Mass ( M ) = 12 kg

∅₂ = 63°

∅₃ = 45°

<h3>Determine the magnitudes of the forces exerted by the ropes on the connecting knot</h3><h3 />

a) Force exerted by the first rope = weight of rope

∴  F₁ = mg

     = 12 * 9.81 ≈  118 kg

<u>b) Force exerted by the second rope </u>

applying equilibrium condition of force in the vertical direction

F₂ sin∅₂ + F₃ sin∅₃ - mg = 0  ---- ( 1 )

where: F₃ = ( F₂ cos∅₂ / cos∅₃ ) --- ( 2 )  applying equilibrium condition of force in the horizontal direction

Back to equation ( 1 )

F₂ =  [ ( mg / cos∅₂ ) / tan∅₂ + tan∅₃ ]

   = [ ( 118 / cos 63° ) / ( tan 63° + tan 45° ) ]

   = 89.21 N

<u />

<u>C ) </u><u>Force </u><u>exerted by the</u><u> third rope </u>

Applying equation ( 2 )

F₃ = ( F₂ cos∅₂ / cos∅₃ )

    = ( 89.21 * cos 63 / cos 45 )

    = 57.28 N

Hence we can conclude that The magnitudes of the forces that the ropes must exert on the knot connecting are :

F₁ = 118 N, F₂ = 89.21 N, F₃ = 57.28 N

The combination of all forces that act on an object are (2 points)
qaws [65]

Answer:

A) The net force

Explanation:

If two forces of equal strength act on an object in opposite directions, the forces will cancel, resulting in a net force of zero and no movement.

A particle with a charge of 3.00 elementary charges moves through a potential difference of 4.50 volts. What is the change in el
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

7.2\cdot 10^{-19} J

Explanation:

The change in electrical potential energy of a charged particle moving through a potential difference is given by

\Delta U = q \Delta V

where

q is the magnitude of the charge of the particle

\Delta V is the potential difference

In this problem:

- the charge of the particle is 3.00 elementary charges, so

q=3e=3\cdot 1.6\cdot 10^{-19} J=4.8\cdot 10^{-19}J

- the potential difference is

\Delta V=4.50 V

So, the change in electrical potential energy is

\Delta U=(1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C)(4.50 V)=7.2\cdot 10^{-19} J

How does inertia affect someone who isn't wearing a seatbelt
Paul [167]
Basically, when someone is resting in an accelerated vehicle without restraint from a seatbelt, the force of stopping the vehicle will be when inertia occurs, and that force of the vehicle coming to a stop will affect the passenger (without a seatbelt/restraint from another force or object) greatly by throwing them.
For example;
If I were to be riding in a vehicle (without a seatbelt) that's accelerating at 40 m/s^2 and it suddenly gets slammed on the breaks, I will be thrown forward from inside the vehicle.

I hope this helps!
