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_forwardThree math instructors are trying to hold a sedated bear in the center of a class- room. There are three ropes attached to the bear and each instructor has hold of a rope. Mark is pulling in the direction 15° East of North with a force of 20 pounds and Allison is pulling in the direction 25° East of South with a force of 30 pounds. You must quickly tell Joe the compass direction and the magnitude of the force which must be exerted on the third rope to counterbalance Mark and Allison. (Give approximate answers to three decimal places.)arrow_forwardA boat (B) is stranded at sea and the coast guard (C) is on it’s way to help. A helicopter (H) is hovering above them at an altitude of 200m. Looking down from the helicopter, the stranded boat is at a bearing of 110° and angle of depression of 35°. The coast guard is at a bearing of 240° with and angle of depression of 50° from the helicopter. If the coast guard is travelling at 30 m/s, how long will it take for the coast guard to reach the stranded boat? Round to final answer to 2 decimal places. (note: bearings are measured clockwise from north)arrow_forward
- Please ignore all the drawings on the question.arrow_forwardWhile moving, Jacob pushes a dolly up a ramp with a constant force of 55 N. If the ramp has an incline of 20° with the horizontal, what amount of work (in joules) will Jacob have do to push the dolly 20 meters? about 1034 joules about 376 joules about 354 joules about 1100 joulesarrow_forwardI. 7. Marcus needs to give Deshawn his air pods back. If Marcus noticed that he had to use a 20° angle of depression to spot Felix's house and that Stone Mountain is 825 feet above its suroundings then how far away is he from his buddy Felix?arrow_forward
- You should be able to answer this question after studying Unit 5. A mountain rescue team is preparing to move a stretcher (with an injured climber) down a flat slope. The combined mass of the stretcher and climber is 85 kg, and the slope makes an angle of 18° with the horizontal. The stretcher is held in place by a rope that makes an angle of 25° with the slope. The stretcher is on the point of slipping down the slope. The coefficient of static friction between the slope and the stretcher is 0.15. rope 25° stretcher 18° Model the stretcher and climber as a particle, the slope as a plane and the rope as a model string. Take the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity to be g = 9.8 ms-2, and round your answers to two significant figures. (a) Draw a force diagram showing the four forces acting on the stretcher. Define the symbols that you use to denote the forces. Choose the Cartesian unit vector i to be parallel to and pointing up the slope, and the Cartesian unit vector j to be…arrow_forward1arrow_forward2. Muscle A and muscle B are attached to a bone as indicated in the figure below. Muscle A exerts a force on the bone at angle a, while muscle B exerts a force on the bone at angle ß. Muscle B Muscle A Bone a. Assume muscle A exerts a force of 900 N on the bone at an angle a = 8°, while muscle B exerts a force of 75O N on the bone at an angle of B = 33°. Find the resultant force and the angle of the force due to muscle A and muscle B on the bone. b. Assume muscle A exerts a force of 1000 N on the bone at an angle a = 9°, while muscle B exerts a force of 820 N on the bone at an angle of ß = 38°. Find the resultant force and the angle of the force due to muscle A and muscle B on the bone.arrow_forward
- Two horizontal wires are attached to a point P of a vertical post, and forces of magnitudes 8 N and 10 N are applied along these wires. The forces are inclined at 30° to each other. Find the magnitude of the resultant of these forces and find the angle which the resultant makes with the 8 N force.arrow_forwardAn object is acted on by two forces, X and Y. Force X acts vertically upwards with magnitude 16 N. Force Y acts horizontally from right to left with magnitude 31 N. Calculate the magnitude of the resultant force to the nearest newton and describe its direction in terms of the angle it makes with the horizontal, to the nearest degree. Magnitude of resultant force: N Direction of resultant force: from horizontalarrow_forwardIf a force of 60 lb. acts at an angle of 40 to the horizontal, what is its vertical component? 39 lb. 46 lb. 20 lb.arrow_forward
