Walter Arfeuille of Belgium lifted a 281.5 kg load off the ground using his teeth. Suppose Arfeuille can hold just three times t

hat mass on a 30.0° slope using the same force. What is the coefficient of static friction between the load and the slope?

Gravitational, g = 9.81 m/s2 
Theta = 30 degrees, using the same force. 
Let u be the coefficient of static friction 
Force applied F = mg 
Static Friction Force = u3mgcos (theta) 
The gravitational Force = 3mgsin (theta) 
So the force equation = 3mgsin (theta) - (u3mgcos (theta) + mg) = 0 
So 3mgsin (theta) = (u3mgcos (theta) + mg) => 3sin (theta) = (u3cos (theta) + 1)
 => u = (3sin (30) - 1) / 3cos (30) => u = (3(1/2) - 1) / (3 x 0.866)
 => u = (1.5 - 1) / 2.59 = 0.5 / 2.59 = 0.5 / 2.598
 Coefficient of Static Friction u = 0.19.

Let's call
 m = 281.5Kg
 The force that Walter can make is by definition:
 F = m * g
 where,
 g: acceleration of gravity.
 Suppose Walter is at the top of the slope:
 By making a free-body diagram we have the following forces in the direction of the slope:
 Friction force = (μ3mgcosø)
 Force of gravity = (3mgsinø),
 Force exerted by Walter = mg
 We have then:
 mg + μ3mgcosø-3mgsinø = 0.
 Clearing the friction coefficient:
 μ = (3sinø-1) / (3cosø).
 Substituting the angle:
 μ = 0.19.
 answer
 the coefficient of static friction between the load and the slope is 0.19

Does a fish appear closer or farther from a person wearing swim goggles with an air pocket in front of their eyes than the fish
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

In this case, the index of seawater replacement is 1.33, the index of refraction of air is 1, which is why the angle of replacement is less than the incident angle, so the fish seems to be closer

In the opposite case, when the fish looked at the face of the man, the angle of greater reason why it seems to be further away

Explanation:

This exercise can be analyzed with the law of refraction that establishes that a ray of light when passing from one medium to another with a different index makes it deviate from its path,

      n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

where n₁ and n₂ are the refractive indices of the incident and refracted means and the angles are also for these two means.

In this case, the index of seawater replacement is 1.33, the index of refraction of air is 1, which is why the angle of replacement is less than the incident angle, so the fish seems to be closer

1 sin θ₁ = 1.33 sin θ₂

        θ₂ = sin⁻¹ ( 1/1.33 sin θ₁)

In the opposite case, when the fish looked at the face of the man, the angle of greater reason why it seems to be further away

A woman is straining to lift a large crate, without success because it is too heavy. We denote the forces on the crate as follow
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Force P is acting upward

C is vertical contact Force

W is the weight of the crate

As P is unable to move the Block therefore Normal reaction keeps on acting on block

thus we can say that

P-W+C=0

P=W-C

¿Alguien me puede ayudar? Problema: Un niño le pide gastada a su papá y éste le contesta que le dará los $120 que tiene en su bo
VLD [36.1K]

Answer: there are 15 coins of $2 and 18 coins of $5

Explanation:

I will answer in English.

X is the number of $5 coins.

Y is the number of $2 coins.

We have the system of equations:

Y + X = 33

Y*2 + X*5 = 120

first, we must isolate one of the variables in one of the equations and then replace it in the other equation, let's isolate Y in the first equation:

Y = 33 - X.

Then we can replace it in the other equation:

(33 - X)*2 + X*5 = 120

66 - X*2 + X*5 = 120

X*3 = 54

X = 54/3 = 18

and using the equation for Y.

Y = 33 - X = 33 - 18 = 15

So there are 15 coins of $2 and 18 coins of $5

Whale sharks swim forward while ascending or descending. They swim along a straight-line path at a shallow angle as they move fr
Aneli [31]
You did not include the quesetion, but I can help you to understand the problem and how to find the relevant information.

1) The angle of 13° with which the shark ascends meets this:

Vertical ascending velocity = 0.85m/s * sin(13°)

Horizontal velocity = 0.85m/s * cos(13°)

2) The length swan by the shark ascending meets this

Vertical ascending length = 50 m

Horizontal length, y:

\frac{y}{50} = \frac{0.85sin(13)}{0.85cos(13)}

From that y = 50 * tan(13°)

=> y = 11.54 m.

3) Conclusions:

1) The shark run 50 m vertically upward and 11.54 m horizontally.

2) The length of the path run by the shark may be calculated using Pythagoras' theorem:

hypotenuse^2 = (50m)^2 + (11.54m)^2 = 2633.25m^2

hypotenuse = 51.35m

So, the shark swan 51.35 m to reach the surface.

A wave is propagating from left to right in a medium. The particles in the medium are also vibrating from left to right. What ki
Anna71 [15]
Based on the direction of propagation compared to direction of vibration, waves are classified into:
1- Transverse waves: The direction of propagation of the wave is perpendicular to the direction of vibration of the medium particles.
2- Longitudinal waves: The direction of propagation of the wave is the same as the direction of vibration of the medium particles.

For the question we have here, since the direction of the wave is the same as the direction of vibration of particles, therefore, this wave is a longitudinal wave
