A man is dragging a trunk up the loading ramp of a mover’s truck. The ramp has a slope angle of 20°, and the man pulls upward with a force F→whose direction makes an angle of 30°with the ramp (Fig. E4.4).

(a) How large a force F→is necessary for the component Fxparallel to the ramp to be 90.0 N?

(b) How large will the component Fy perpendicular to the ramp be then?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a)The magnitude of the forceF→ has to be 103.9N for the component Fxparallel to the ramp to be 90.0 N.

(b) The component Fyperpendicular to the ramp will be 51.95N

Step by step solution

01

Given data

The component of the force parallel to the ramp is

Fx=90N

The angle made by the force with the ramp is

θ=30°

02

Vector components

The X and Y components of a vector A→ making an angle θ with the X axis can be summarized as

A→=Acosθi^+Asinθj^.....1

03

Components of the forces

From equation (1), the x component of the force is

Fx=FcosθFcos30°=90NF=90cos30°N=103.9N

From equation (1), the y component of the force is

Fy=Fsinθ=103.9×sin30°N=51.95N

The net magnitude of the force is 103.9N and the component perpendicular to the ramp is 51.95N.

While driving in an exotic foreign land, you see a speed limit sign that reads 180,000 furlongs per fortnight. How many miles per hour is this? (One furlong is 1/8 mile, and a fortnight is 14 days. A furlong originally referred to the length of a plowed furrow.)

A car is stopped at a traffic light. It then travels along a straight road such that its distance from the light is given byxt=bt2-ct3, whereb=2.40m/s2andc=0.120m/s3. (a) Calculate the average velocity of the car for the time interval t = 0 to t = 10.0 s. (b) Calculate the instantaneous velocity of the car at t = 0, t = 5.0 s, and t = 10.0 s. (c) How long after starting from rest is the car again at rest?

Four astronauts are in a spherical space station. (a) If, as is typical, each of them breathes about 500 cm3 of air with each breath, approximately what volume of air (in cubic meters) do these astronauts breathe in a year? (b) What would the diameter (in meters) of the space station have to be to contain all this air?

A closed and elevated vertical cylindrical tank with diameter 2.00 m contains water to a depth of 0.800 m. A worker accidently pokes a circular hole with diameter 0.0200 m in the bottom of the tank. As the water drains from the tank, compressed air above the water in the tank maintains a gauge pressure of 5 X 103Pa at the surface of the water. Ignore any effects of viscosity. (a) Just after the hole is made, what is the speed of the water as it emerges from the hole? What is the ratio of this speed to the efflux speed if the top of the tank is open to the air? (b) How much time does it take for all the water to drain from the tank? What is the ratio of this time to the time it takes for the tank to drain if the top of the tank is open to the air?

The dwarf planet Pluto has an elliptical orbit with a semi-major axis of 5.91×1012 mand eccentricity 0.249.

(a) Calculate Pluto’s orbital period. Express your answer in seconds and in earth years.

(b) During Pluto’s orbit around the sun, what are its closest and farthest distances from the sun?
