Four forces are exerted on the object shown in FIGURE P3.44. (Forces are measured in newtons, abbreviated N.) The net force on the object isF→net=F→1+F→2+F→3+F→4=4.0ı^N . What are (a)F→3 and (b) F→4? Give your answers in component form.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The forcesF3 and F4are F→3=2.9 Nj^ andF→4=1.64 Ni^

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information

The net force

F→net=F→1+F→2+F→3+F→4=4i^

02

Step 2. Explanation

If a vector F is inclined by an angle θwith respect to the x- axis, and the x-component is Fcosθand its y - component is Fsinθ.

ResolvingF2 into two components, along x-axis and along the y-axis as shown in the following figure:

F→net=F→1+F→2+F→3+F→44i^+0j^F→net=[5(−j^)]+6cos20°i^+6sin20°j^+F3j^+ F4(−i^)4i^+0j^4i^=6cos20°−F4i^+6sin20°+F3−5j^ â¶ÄŠâ¶ÄŠâ¶ÄŠâ¶ÄŠâ¶ÄŠâ¶ÄŠâ¶ÄŠâ¶ÄŠâ¶ÄŠâ¶ÄŠâ¶ÄŠâ¶ÄŠâ¶ÄŠâ¶ÄŠâ¶ÄŠâ¶ÄŠâ¶ÄŠâ¶ÄŠâ¶ÄŠâ¶ÄŠâ¶ÄŠâ¶ÄŠâ¶ÄŠâ¶ÄŠâ¶ÄŠâ¶ÄŠâ¶ÄŠâ¶ÄŠâ¶ÄŠâ¶ÄŠâ¶ÄŠâ¶ÄŠâ¶ÄŠâ¶ÄŠâ¶ÄŠâ¶ÄŠâ¶ÄŠâ¶ÄŠâ¶ÄŠâ¶ÄŠâ¶ÄŠâ¶ÄŠâ¶ÄŠâ¶ÄŠâ¶ÄŠâ¶ÄŠâ¶ÄŠ..... (1)

Part (a)

Comparing both y-component of expression (1)

0j^=6sin20°+F3−5j^⇒F→3=2.9 Nj^

04

Part (b)

Comparing x-component of expression (1)

4i^=6cos20°−F4i^F→4=(6cos20°−4)i^F→4=1.64 Ni^

I You are fixing the root of your house when a hammer breaks loose and slides down. The roof makes an angle of 35°with the horizontal, and the hammer is moving at 4.5m/swhen it reaches the edge. What are the horizontal and vertical components of the hammer's velocity just as it leaves the roof?

shows three ropes tied together in a knot. One of your friends pulls on a rope with 3.0 units of force and another pulls on a second rope with 5.0 units of force. How hard and in what direction must you pull on the third rope to keep the knot from moving?

a. What are the x- and y-components of vector shown in FIGURE EX3.3 in terms of the angleθ and the magnitude E?

b. For the same vector, what are the x- and y-components in terms of the angle θand the magnitude E?

I A runner is training for an upcoming marathon by running around a 100-m-diameter circular track at constant speed. Let a coordinate system have its origin at the center of the circle with the -axis pointing east and the -axis north. The runner starts at and runs \(2.5\) times around the track in a clockwise direction. What is his displacement vector? Give your answer as a magnitude and direction.

II A flock of ducks is trying to migrate south for the winter, but they keep being blown off course by a wind blowing from the west at 6.0m/s. A wise elder duck finally realizes that the solution is to fly at an angle to the wind. If the ducks can fly at 8.0m/srelative to the air, what direction should they head in order to move directly south?
