Answer: It would increase.
Explanation:
The equation for determining the force of the gravitational pull between any two objects is:
Where G is the universal gravitational constant, m1 is the mass of one body, m2 is the mass of the other body, and r^2 is the distance between the two objects' centers squared.
Assuming the Earth's mass but not its diameter increased, in the equation above m1 (the term usually indicative of the object of larger mass) would increase, while the r^2 would not.
Thus, it goes without saying that, with some simple reasoning about fractions, an increasing numerator over a constant denominator would result in a larger number to multiply by G, thus also meaning a larger gravitational strength between Earth and whatever other object is of interest.
Answer:
1.) Magnitude = 5596 N
2.) Direction = 60 degrees
Explanation: You are given that the breakdown vehicle A is exerting a force of 4000 N at angle 45 degree to the vertical and breakdown vehicle B is exerting a force of 2000 N
Let us resolve the two forces into X and Y component
Sum of the forces in the X - component will be 4000 × cos 45 = 2828.43 N
Sum of the forces in the Y - component will be 2000 + ( 4000 × sin 45 )
= 2000 + 2828.43
= 4828.43 N
The resultant force R will be
R = sqrt ( X^2 + Y^2 )
Substitutes the forces at X component and Y component into the formula
R = sqrt ( 2828.43^2 + 4828.43^2 )
R = sqrt ( 31313752.53 )
R = 5595.87 N
The direction will be
Tan Ø = Y/X
Substitute Y and X into the formula
Tan Ø = 4828.43 / 2828.43
Tan Ø = 1.707106
Ø = tan^-1( 1.707106 )
Ø = 59.64 degree
Therefore, approximately, the magnitude and direction of the resultant force on the truck are 5596 N and 60 degree respectively.
