Two dogs pull horizontally on ropes attached to a post; the angle between the ropes is 60°. If Rover exerts a force of 270 N and Fido exerts a force of 300 N, find the magnitude of the resultant force and the angle it makes with Rover’s rope.

Short Answer

Expert verified

If two dogs Rover and Fido pull their ropes attached to a post with 270 Nand 300 N forces respectively having an angle 60°between them, the resultant force is 493.86N and makes an angle 31.74° with Rover's rope.

Step by step solution

01

Given data

The magnitude of the force applied by Rover is

A→=270N

The magnitude of the force applied by Fido is

B→=300N

The angle between the two forces is

θ=60°

02

Vector addition

The magnitude of vector sum of two vectors A→ and B→ with an angle θ between them is

R=A2+B2+2ABcosθ.....1

The angle made by the resultant vector with A→ is

f=tan-1BsinθA+Bcosθ.....2

03

Sum of two forces

From equation (1), the magnitude of sum of the two forces is

R=2702+3002+2×270×300cos60°N=493.86N

From equation (2), the angle made by the resultant force with Rover's rope is

ϕ=tan-1300sin60°270+300cos60°=tan-10.619=31.74°

Thus, the resultant force is 493.86N and makes an angle 31.74° with Rover's rope.

On a training flight, a student pilot flies from Lincoln, Nebraska, to Clarinda, Iowa, next to St. Joseph, Missouri, and then to Manhattan, Kansas

(Fig. P1.66). The directions are shown relative to north: 0°is north, 90°is east, 180°is south, and 270°is west. Use the method of components to find (a) the distance she has to fly from Manhattan to get back to Lincoln, and (b) the direction (relative to north) she must fly to get there. Illustrate your solutions with a vector diagram.

A jet fighter pilot wishes to accelerate from rest at a constant acceleration of to reach Mach 3 (three times the speed of sound) as quickly as possible. Experimental tests reveal that he will black out if this acceleration lasts for more than5.0s. Use331m/sfor the speed of sound. (a) Will the period of acceleration last long enough to cause him to black out? (b) What is the greatest speed he can reach with an acceleration ofbefore he blacks out?

Can you find a vector quantity that has a magnitude of zero but components that are not zero? Explain. Can the magnitude of a vector be less than the magnitude of any of its components? Explain.

Water flows steadily from an open tank as in Fig. P12.81. The elevation of point 1 is 10.0 m, and the elevation of points 2 and 3 is 2.00 m. The cross-sectional area at point 2 is 0.0480 m2; at point 3 it is 0.0160 m2. The area of the tank is very large compared with the cross-sectional area of the pipe. Assuming that Bernoulli’s equation applies, compute (a) the discharge rate in cubic meters per second and (b) the gauge pressure at point 2.

A cube 5.0 cm on each side is made of a metal alloy. After you drill a cylindrical hole 2.0 cm in diameter all the way through and perpendicular to one face, you find that the cube weighs 6.30 N. (a) What is the density of this metal? (b) What did the cube weigh before you drilled the hole in it?
