Chapter 17, Problem 2P
* You rub two 2.0-g balloons with a wool sweater. The balloons hand from 0.50-m-long very light strings. When you attach the strings together at the top, the balloons hang away from each other each string making an angle of 37° with the vertical. (a) Represent the situation with the force diagram for each balloon and determine the magnitudes of the forces on the diagram. (b) What can you say about the magnitudes of the forces that the balloons exert on each other? Explain. (c) Will the ratio of the forces that the balloons exert on each other change if the charge on one balloon is two times larger than on the other? How do you know?

i'm doing chapter 4 problem 12p in the college physics 11th edition text book. On bartleby it says that "total force along the x axis is fx= f1sin30degrees - f2sin10degrees" my question is that wouldnt it be the cosine since it is the x axis and not sin?? i put a image below
QUESTION 2
Problem
A new type of force was discovered by physicists with the following expression:
a
Fnew=x
+ Be* + 3x4
where alpha & beta are constants, and x is the position. The expression above was obtained from the interaction of a massless Higgs Boson (a type of particle) and a black hole.
Quantum physicists then decides to design and build a machine that is able to move the Higgs Boson from x, to x1. How much work should the machine do to achieve this feat? (For simplicity,
consider that no energy is lost in the process)
Solution
To determine the work done we apply the following
W =
dx
Evaluating the above, we get
W =
for the limits from x; to Xf
substituting x1 and x, as the limits, the work done is expressed as
W =
Bi
X1
( x15 - x2)

- A rectangular block has a length that is five times its width and a height that is three times its width. The blocks surfaces are all identical except for size. When the block is placed on a horizontal tabletop so that the area in contact with the table is length width, it is found that a horizontal force of 10.0 N applied to the block is just sufficient to overcome the static friction force and cause the block to move. The block is then knocked over so that the area in contact with the table is length height. Now, what minimum horizontal force will cause the block to move?

FIGURE P6.7arrow_forwardYou have a new internship, where you are helping to design a new freight yard for the train station in your city. There will be a number of dead-end sidings where single cars can be stored until they are needed. To keep the cars from running off the tracks at the end of the siding, you have designed a combination of two coiled springs as illustrated in Figure P7.41. When a car moves to the right in the figure and strikes the springs, they exert a force to the left on the car to slow it down. Both springs are described by Hookes law and have spring constants k1 = 1 600 N/m and k2 = 3 400 N/m. After the first spring compresses by a distance of d = 30.0 cm, the second spring acts with the first to increase the force to the left on the car in Figure P7.41. When the spring with spring constant k2 compresses by 50.0 cm, the coils of both springs are pressed together, so that the springs can no longer compress. A typical car on the siding has a mass of 6 000 kg. When you present your design to your supervisor, he asks you for the maximum speed that a car can have and be stopped by your device.
