- A particle, which remains at rest, is acted on by three forces: F, G & H. The force F has a magnitude of 45N and is directed to the left and down making an angle of 45 degrees with the vertical. The force G is directed horizontally right and H is directed to the right and up making an angle of 30 degrees with the vertical. Find the magnitude of the vectors G and H to 1 d.p.arrow_forwardIn the plane forces system, F1 = 3 kN, F2 = 6 kN and F3 = 10 kN. The direction of the force F3 is tan a = %, the moment arm of the force couple is di = 2 m and the action points of the forces are A2 (-2,5), A3 (-4,-4).

The dashed line in the draw- ing bisects the 30.0° angle. The magnitude of the force applied by each rope is 2900 newtons. Arrange the force vectors tail to head and use the graphical technique to answer the following questions. (a) How much force would a single rope need to apply to accomplish the same effect as the two forces added together? (b) How would the single rope be directed relative to the dashed line? 2900 newtons 2900 newtons 30.0 ranscribed Image Text: "31. ssm A car is being pulled out of the mud by two forces that are ap- plied by the two ropes shown in the drawing.

- In a two-dimensional tug-of-war, Alex, Betty, and Charles pull horizontally on an automobile tire at the angles shown in the picture (the given angle is 137°). The tire remains stationary in spite of the three pulls. Alex pulls with force F→A of magnitude 202 N, and Charles pulls with force F→C of magnitude 179 N. Note that the direction of F→C is not given. What is the magnitude of Betty's force F→B if Charles pulls in (a) the direction drawn in the picture or (b) the other possible direction for equilibrium?arrow_forwardForce vectors F1 and F2 act on body P with the resultant force vector R. The resultant force R = 350 N and the angle between R and the x-axis is of 35O. If F1 = 180 N and the angle between F1 and the x-axis is 72O, determine the magnitude of F2 and the angle between F2 and the x-axis.arrow_forwardA block of mass m1 is placed on top of a block of mass m2. You push the two blocks so that they move up a vertical wall, with a constant force of magnitude P directed at angle theta. The coefficient of friction between m2 and the wall is u. There is no friction between the blocks and no friction between m1 and the wall. Find the force exerted by the lower block on the upper block. The answer the book gives me is (P(cos(theta)-u*sin(theta)))/(1+(m2/m1)) I get how to get the numerator but am unsure of how the denominator answer was gotten and where gravity went in the equationarrow_forward
- A student of weight 678 N rides a steadily rotating Ferris wheel (the student sits upright). At the highest point, the magnitude of the normal force F→N on the student from the seat is 597 N. (a) What is the magnitude of F→N at the lowest point? If the wheel's speed is doubled, what is the magnitude FN at the (b) highest and (c) lowest point?arrow_forwarda horizontal force of 100 N is to be applied to a 10 kg slab that is initially stationary on a frictionless floor, to accelerate the slab. A 10 kg block lies on top of the slab; the coefficient of friction m between the block and the slab is not known, and the block might slip. In fact, the contact between the block and the slab might even be frictionless. (a) Considering that possibility, what is the possible range of values for the magnitude of the slab’s acceleration aslab? (Hint:You don’t need written calculations; just consider extreme values for m.) (b) What is the possible range for the magnitude ablock of the block’s acceleration?arrow_forwardOn a horizontal plane a block of mass m = 0.30 kg is placed and initially held at rest. To this block a massless string is attached and it initially keeps another block of mass M = 0.50 kg vertically at rest via a fixed pulley as shown in Figure. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block m and the plane is Pk -0.25, but the friction between the block M and the vertical wall is zero. Calculate the tension T by string in N. (Hint: First calculate the acceleration of m or M. And set up the equation of motion for M to find the tension T.) T m Marrow_forward
