- A particle, which remains at rest, is acted on by three forces: F, G & H. The force F has a magnitude of 45N and is directed to the left and down making an angle of 45 degrees with the vertical. The force G is directed horizontally right and H is directed to the right and up making an angle of 30 degrees with the vertical.

The dashed line in the draw- ing bisects the 30.0° angle. The magnitude of the force applied by each rope is 2900 newtons. Arrange the force vectors tail to head and use the graphical technique to answer the following questions. (a) How much force would a single rope need to apply to accomplish the same effect as the two forces added together? (b) How would the single rope be directed relative to the dashed line? 2900 newtons 2900 newtons 30.0 ranscribed Image Text: "31. ssm A car is being pulled out of the mud by two forces that are ap- plied by the two ropes shown in the drawing.

- A block of mass m1 is placed on top of a block of mass m2. You push the two blocks so that they move up a vertical wall, with a constant force of magnitude P directed at angle theta. The coefficient of friction between m2 and the wall is u. There is no friction between the blocks and no friction between m1 and the wall. Find the force exerted by the lower block on the upper block. The answer the book gives me is (P(cos(theta)-u*sin(theta)))/(1+(m2/m1)) I get how to get the numerator but am unsure of how the denominator answer was gotten and where gravity went in the equationarrow_forwarda horizontal force of 100 N is to be applied to a 10 kg slab that is initially stationary on a frictionless floor, to accelerate the slab. A 10 kg block lies on top of the slab; the coefficient of friction m between the block and the slab is not known, and the block might slip. In fact, the contact between the block and the slab might even be frictionless. (a) Considering that possibility, what is the possible range of values for the magnitude of the slab’s acceleration aslab?

- On a horizontal plane a block of mass m = 0.30 kg is placed and initially held at rest. To this block a massless string is attached and it initially keeps another block of mass M = 0.50 kg vertically at rest via a fixed pulley as shown in Figure. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block m and the plane is Pk -0.25, but the friction between the block M and the vertical wall is zero. Calculate the tension T by string in N. (Hint: First calculate the acceleration of m or M. And set up the equation of motion for M to find the tension T.) T m Marrow_forwardA block of mass M slides down a frictionless plane inclined at an angle θ with the horizontal. The normal reaction force exerted by the plane on the block is directed parallel to the plane in the same direction as the movement of the block. parallel to the plane in the opposite direction as the movement of the block perpendicular to the plane. toward the center of the Earth.arrow_forwardConsider the four forces to be in equilibrium. The force F2 has a magnitude of 70.0 N and is in the negative x-direction. The force F3 is in the positive y direction. The force F1 makes an angle =25.0o with respect to the positive z-axis. When projected onto the xy plane the force F1 makes and angle of =32.0o with respect to the positive x-axis. What is the magnitude of the force F4 if it is in the negative z-direction?
