- Problem A new type of force was discovered by physicists with the following expression: F subscript n e w end subscript equals alpha over x plus beta e to the power of x plus 3 x to the power of 4 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 x2 to x1. How much work should the machine do to achieve this feat? (For simplicity, consider that no energy is lost in the process)arrow_forwardYou are working in an ice skating rink and have been asked to hang a new banner on the wall. Your friend is helping you so that the ladder does not collapse by exerting a force F→AL at an angle phi relative to the horizontal. See the diagram below. The ladder has a length L and makes an angle of theta with respect to the vertical wall. You have a mass, m_Y, and are a horizontal distance x from the wall. The ladder has a mass of m_L. Because the wall is slick, and the ice on the floor is slick, the frictional forces acting on the ladder are negligible. Part One: Find a formula for the magnitude of the force that your friend must exert to keep the ladder from falling, in terms of the following variables: x,L,m_Y,m_L,theta,phi. Then use the following values to get a number for the magnitude of F→AL. theta = 29.5 degrees phi = 23.305 degrees x= 2.204 meters L = 7.6 meters m_Y= 82 kg m_L = 34.44kgarrow_forwardYou are working in an ice skating rink and have been asked to hang a new banner on the wall.
