Answer:

15.76N

Explanation:

horizontal component =Fcos¢ = 20cos38 = 15.76N

horizontal component = Fx = F cos α

vertical component = Fy = F sin α

the horizontal component of the force on the box:

$\tt =20\times cos~38^o\\\\=\boxed{\bold{15.76~N}}$

What % of an object’s mass is above the water line if the object’s density is 0.82g/ml?

Sladkaya [172]

To develop this problem we will apply the Archimedes model. As well as the definitions of Weight based on mass and acceleration. The first in turn will be considered under the relationship of Density and Volume. From the values given we have to:

$\rho_w =1 g/mL \rightarrow \text{Water Density}$

$\rho_o = 0.82g/mL \rightarrow \text{Object density}$

Since it is in equilibrium, the weight of the object will have a reaction from the water, which will cause the sum of forces between the two objects to be zero, therefore

$\sum F= 0$
