On a sunny day, your friend Issac was daydreaming under an apple tree. All of a sudden, an apple dropped from the tree and hit Issac's head. From there Issac had the idea that the apple was dragged down from the tree by a "force". He contemplated an equation to describe this "force": F = m*g Where F is the force exerted onto the apple (in unit N), m is the mass of the apple (in unit kg), and g is a fundamental constant of nature, Issac named it the gravitational constant. Issac was intrigued by this idea and he wanted to measure the gravitational constant. He designed a simple experiment to do this: 1. Collect 5 apples 2. Measure the mass of each of them and put them into a dataset M 3. Put each apple onto the tree branch, and let 4. Measure the force exerted on each apple F = it drop from the tree [6.9, 7.3, 9.8, 9.0, 10} = {0.7, 0.7, 0.9, 0.8, 1.0} Issac carefully prepared his dataset so that there is one-to-one correspondence between each element in M and F. (i.e., the 1st apple…

Question b)

A basket of flowers of mass 3 kg is placed on a flat grassy slope that makes an angle θ with the horizontal. The coefficient of static friction between the basket and the slope is 0.45 and the basket is on the point of slipping down the slope. Model the basket of flowers as a particle and the grassy slope as a plane. Take the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity, g, to be 9.8 m s−2 Express the forces in component form, in terms of θ and unknown magnitudes where appropriate. Write down the equilibrium condition for the basket and hence show that tan θ = 0.45. Determine the angle, in degrees, that the slope makes with the horizontal.
