A cubical box is filled with sand and weighs 510 N. It is desired to "roll" the box by pushing horizontally on one of the upper

edges. What minimum force (in newtons) is required? Any help is appreciated. Been at this for 30 minutes and I still don't get it.

Clockwise moments = Anticlockwise moments
Call the force you apply horizontally to the top left side of the square N.
W = 510 acting from the centre as the mass is distributed evenly.

Take moments about a pivot, in this case the bottom right corner is the pivot.
The clockwise moment is N and the anticlockwise moment is W.
N*x*sqrt(2) = 510*x/2
205x =Nx*sqrt(2)
205 = N*sqrt(2)
N = 205/sqrt(2)

- In the following diagram of triangle QRS, QR = 8 and QS = 17. Determine the value of sin Q. Show how you
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

SinQ=\frac{15}{17}

Step-by-step explanation:

We draw the right triangle as shown in the image attached.

Δ QRS

Where R is the right angle

Given

QR = 8

QS = 17

Now, using Pythagorean Theorem, we can find RS:

QR^2+RS^2=QS^2\\8^2+RS^2=17^2\\RS^2=17^2-8^2\\RS^2=225\\RS=\sqrt{225}\\RS=15

Now, we know the ratio Sine as:

Sin(\theta)=\frac{Opposite}{Hyotenuse}

Where \theta is the angle (here angle Q)

Opposite side is RS (which is 15)

Hypotenuse is given as QS (which is 17)

So,

SinQ=\frac{15}{17}

This is the value of SinQ.

We don't want the angle, so we'll stop here.

By how much is 90125 more than 58478​
lorasvet [3.4K]

Hey there!

First, we should subtract them.

90125 - 58478 = 31,647

90125 is 31647 more than 58478.

Hope this helps!

Have a great day!

Calculate the value of x to one decimal place. inches
kakasveta [241]

Use the law of cosines: c^2=a^2+b^2-2ab\cos C

We have:

c=x\\a=3in\\b=7in\\C=54^o

substitute:

\cos54^o\approx0.5878\\\\c^2=3^2+7^2-2\cdot3\cdot7\cdot0.5878\\\\c^2=9+49-24.6876\\\\c^2=33.3129\to c=\sqrt{33.3129}\\\\c\approx5.8

Twenty-four 4-inch wide square posts are evenly spaced with 5 feet between adjacent posts to enclose a square field, as shown. W
Nata [24]

Answer:

492 0/10

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the perimeter is 4 times the length of the side, now we know that this side "l" is given by:

l = 4 in * 24 + 23 * 5 ft

l = 96 in + 115 ft

Now, we pass the inches to pes, knowing that 1 foot equals 12 inches, so

96 in * 1 ft / 12 in = 8 ft

therefore replacing it remains:

l = 8 ft + 115 ft

l = 123 ft

now the perimeter:

p = 123 * 4

p = 492

to change to a mixed number:

4920/10 = 492 0/10
