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.

A cylindrical bucket, open at the top, is 25.0 cm high and 10.0 cm in diameter. A circular hole with a cross-sectional area 1.50 cm2 is cut in the center of the bottom of the bucket. Water flows into the bucket from a tube above it at the rate of 2.40 x 10-4m3/s. How high will the water in the bucket rise?

A Tennis Serve. In the fastest measured tennis serve, the ball left the racquet at 73.14m/s. A served tennis ball is typically in contact with the racquet for30.0and starts from rest. Assume constant acceleration. (a) What was the ball’s acceleration during this serve? (b) How far did the ball travel during the serve?

The driver of a car wishes to pass a truck that is traveling at a constant speed of20.0m/s(about41mil/h). Initially, the car is also traveling at20.0m/s, and its front bumper is24.0mbehind the truck’s rear bumper. The car accelerates at a constant 0.600m/s2, then pulls back into the truck’s lane when the rear of the car is26.0mahead of the front of the truck. The car islong, and the truck is 21.0m long. (a) How much time is required for the car to pass the truck? (b) What distance does the car travel during this time? (c) What is the final speed of the car?

A cube is placed so that one corner is at the origin and three edges are along the x-, y-, and z-axes of a coordinate system (Fig. P1.80). Use vectors to compute (a) the angle between the edge along the z-axis (line ab) and the diagonal from the origin to the opposite corner (line ad), and (b) the angle between line ac (the diagonal of a face) and line ad.
