Because you see the base of the steam from the surface of the water. This creates the effect of the stream bed being elevated to the surface. This happens in water because light travels slower in water than in a vacuum.

Refraction of light from a dense medium bends the ray away from the normal. As a result objects under water appear closer to the surface than is actually is.<span> </span>

Two wires are used to suspend a sign that weighs 500 N. The two wires make an angle of 100° between each other. If each wire is

1) draw a diagram.
2) label diagram. (split the 100 degrees into 50, (which is right down the middle)  to make a right angle triangle.)
3) since its a free body diagram, the forces known must be labelled. (force of gravity). this shows that the straight vertical line of the right angle triangle is Fg (force gravity). label it.
4) use trigonometry. rearrange the equation to solve for what needs to be known.
 
angles known: 50 (split 100 in half to make a right angle triangle), 90 (since its right angle), and 40 (180-90-50 = 40)

sides known: vertical lined up with the 90 degree angle. Fg. --> fg=mg=500N x 9.81m/s^2 = 4905N

use formula: sin or cos 

i used sin. sin(40) = 4905 / ?
- times '?' on both sides. :  sin(40) x '?' = 4905
-divide both sides by sin(40):  '?' = 4905/ sin(40)
--> Solve.

The static friction exerted on the block by the incline is \mu _ s _1 Mgcos \ \theta.

The given parameters;

  • <em>mass of the block, = M</em>
  • <em>coefficient of static friction in section 1, = </em>\mu_s_1<em />
  • <em>angle of inclination of the plane, = θ</em>

<em />

The normal force on the block is calculated as follows;

Fₙ = Mgcosθ

The static friction exerted on the block by the incline is calculated as follows;

F_s = \mu_s F_n\\\\F_s = \mu _s_1(Mg cos\ \theta)\\\\F_s = \mu _s_1 Mgcos\ \theta

Thus, the static friction exerted on the block by the incline is \mu _ s _1 Mgcos \ \theta
