A worker stands still on a roof sloped at an angle of 35° above the horizontal. He is prevented from slipping by static friction
al force of 560 N. Find the mass of the worker.
1 answer:
Answer:
99.63 kg
Explanation:
From the force diagram
N = normal force on the worker from the surface of the roof
f = static frictional force = 560 N
θ = angle of the slope = 35
m = mass of the worker
W = weight of the worker = mg
W Cosθ = Component of the weight of worker perpendicular to the surface of roof
W Sinθ = Component of the weight of worker parallel to the surface of roof
From the force diagram, for the worker not to slip, force equation must be
W Sinθ = f
mg Sinθ = f
m (9.8) Sin35 = 560
m = 99.63 kg

Strength of the magnetic field: 20 T
Explanation:
For a conductive wire moving perpendicular to a magnetic field, the electromotive force (voltage) induced in the wire due to electromagnetic induction is given by
where
B is the strength of the magnetic field
v is the speed of the wire
L is the length of the wire
For the wire in this problem, we have:
(induced emf)
L = 0.20 m (length of the wire)
v = 3.0 m/s (speed)
Solving for B, we find the strength of the magnetic field:

<u>Sum of Vectors in the Plane</u>
Given two vectors
They can be expressed in their rectangular components as
The sum of both vectors can be done by adding individually its components
If the vectors are given as a magnitude and an angle , each component can be found as
The first vector has a magnitude of 3.14 m and an angle of 30°, so
The second vector has a magnitude of 2.71 m and an angle of -60°, so
The sum of the vectors is
Finally, we compute the magnitude of the sum
