from the horizontal.
a. Write the force vector F in terms of i and j representing the weight against a single tire.
b. Find the component vector of F parallel to the ramp. Round values to 1 decimal place.
c. Find the magnitude of the force needed to keep the forklift from rolling down the ramp. Round to the nearest pound.
The speed of an object is the magnitude of its relative velocity vector. A baseball player throws a baseball at an angle of 61° with the horizontal. If the initial speed of the ball is 93 mph, find the horizontal and vertical components of the initial velocity vector of the baseball. (Round to two decimal places.)
1. An airplane heads due north at 280 mph. It experiences a 38 mph crosswind flowing in the
direction of N60°E. Find the true velocity vector of the airplane in terms of I and j. Then find the
true SPEED of the airplane.
(a)Write the force vector F in terms of i and j representing the weight of the boat and trailer for a single tire.
(b)Find the component vector of F parallel to the ramp in terms of i and j. Round intermediate and final values to one decimal place.
(c)Find the magnitude of the force needed to keep the trailer from moving down the ramp. Round to the nearest pound.
