Answer:
U = -3978.8 J
Explanation:
The work of the gravitational force U just depends of the heigth and is calculated as:
U = -mgh
Where m is the mass, g is the gravitational acceleration and h the alture.
for calculate the alture we will use the following equation:
h = L-Lcos(θ)
Where L is the large of the rope and θ is the angle.
Replacing data:
h = 12.2-12.2cos(58.4)
h = 5.8 m
Finally U is equal to:
U = -70(9.8)(5.8)
U = -3,978.8 J
Answer:
-0.0789 m
Explanation:
Recall that the y-component comes associated with the sin(18.4) through the following trigonometric relationship:
y = 0.250 sin(-18.4) ≈ -0.0789 m
Notice it is negative since it is below the x-axis.
