- A sign hangs from two wires. The left-hand wire makes an angle of 60° with the horizontal, and the magnitude of the tension in the wire is 362 N. The right-hand wire makes an angle of 45° with the horizontal. Calculate the mass of the sign, in kilograms, to two significant figures. (Take the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity, g, to be 9.8m s-2.) The mass of the sign is kg (to 2 s.f.)arrow_forwardFind the direction angle to the nearest degree for the vector v = =arrow_forward/ 12. A cruise ship has a speed (with respect to the water) of 26 knots, and sails on a heading of S40°E.

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_forward
