Concept explainers
Inclined Ramp A box sitting on a horizontal surface is attached to a second box sitting on an inclined ramp by a rope that passes over an ideal pulley. The rope exerts a tension force on both weights along the direction of the rope, and the coefficient of friction between the surface and boxes is (see Problems 91 and 92). If the box on the right weighs 100 pounds and the angle of the ramp is , how much must the box on the left weigh for the system to be in static equilibrium? Round your answer to two decimal places.

- Solve the following exercises based on Principles 18 through 21, although an exercise may require the application oftwo or more of any of the principles. Where necessary, round linear answers in inches to 3 decimal places and millimeters to 2 decimal places. Round angular answers in decimal degrees to 2 decimal places and degrees and minutes to the nearest minute. a. If AB=7218 and CD=5024 find: (1) 1 (2) 2 (3) 3 b. If CD=4315 and AD=10605 , find: (1) 1 (2) 2 (3) 3arrow_forwardMo is on a baseball team and hears that a ball thrown at a 45 degree angle from the ground will travel the furthest distance. How should Mo release the ball for the furthest travel? Nearly straight ahead, parallel to the ground About halfway between straight ahead and straight up About 2/3 of the way straight up Nearly straight up, directly above his headarrow_forwardA block-and-tackle pulley hoist is suspended in a warehouse by ropes of lengths 2 m and 3 m. The hoist weighs 430 N. The ropes, fastened at different heights, make angles of 50° and 38° with the horizontal. Find the tension in each rope and the magnitude of each tension. (Let T2 and T3, represent the tension vectors corresponding to the ropes of length 2 m and 3 m respectively. Round all numerical values to two decimal places.) T2 = |T2| = 339.0511648 N T3 = |T3| = 276.5671494arrow_forward
- A commuter airplane starts from an airport and it first flies to a city A located at 200 km on a direction 30° north of east. Next it flies 150 km 20° west of north to city B. a. Using graphical method, draw both displacements using scale: 50 km = 1cm. b. Find the location of city B relative to the location of the starting poin. c. Find x and y components of each displacement. d. What are x and y components of resultant displacement? e. Using Pythagorean theorem and tangent function find magnitude and direction of resultant displacement.arrow_forwardConsider the given right triangle with legs of length x cm. and y cm. and angle O radians. If x is decreasing at a rate of 3cm/ min. and y is increasing at a rate of 4cm/min., at what rate is angle e changing when x = 5cm and y = 2 cm? Xarrow_forward15. Stump Force Problem Joe Jamoke and Ivan Hoe are pulling up a tree stump. Joe can pull with a force of 200 pounds and Ivan with a force of 250 pounds. A total force of 400 pounds is sufficient to pull up the stump. a. If they pull at an angle of 25° to each other, will the sum of their force vectors be enough to pull up the stump? b. At what angle must they pull in order to ex- ert exactly the 400 pounds needed to pull up the stump?arrow_forward
- Three subdivisions border a lake as shown in the diagram below. New Carl is 44 miles due north of Barborsville. Smithville and Barborsville are 59 miles apart and New Carl and Smithville are 41 miles apart.

Find the angle between the vectors å = 47 – 3j + k and b = 21 – k. (First find an exact expression and then approximate to the nearest degree.)arrow_forward6. DeMarius 'original design for his car used rear wheels with a radius of 12 inches. What is the measure of the central angle of this rear wheel such that the arc length is equivalent to that of a full rotation of the rear wheel that is actually used on DeMarius' car?arrow_forward
- An old fashioned pirate ship departs from Pirate Island at a bearing of 30º. The ship travels 30 km/h for 2 hours when it reaches Buccaneer Bay, where all of the treasure is buried. The ship drifts away from the bray for 4.5 hours at 12 km/h at an unknown bearing. While most of the pirates celebrate pirate things, the navigator wakes up from her nap and sees Pirate Island due East. The angle between the ship’s path and Pirate Island is 105.8º. a. Find the bearing of the ship’s current location from Buccaneer Bay. b.Find the distance from the ship to Pirate Island.arrow_forward12 Find the resultant of two forces, one of 72 pounds and the other of 56 pounds, if they act at a point at an angle of 37. 43 lb. 121 lb. 108 lb.arrow_forward3.
