Aworker drags a box of mass 50 kg across a horizontal floor. the worker attaches a rope to the box and pulls on the rope so that the rope makes a constant angle of 36.8 o above the horizontal.

the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the floor is 0.10. it takes the worker 5.12 seconds to move the box 10 m from rest.

a. find an†expression†for the magnitude of the pulling force that the worker exerts on the rope.

b. find a†numerical†value†for the magnitude of the pulling force that the worker exerts on the rope. express your answer as a percentage of the magnitude of the gravitational force acting on the box.

A) with

B) The magnitude of the pulling force is 24 % of the magnitude of the gravitational force acting on the box

Step-by-step explanation:

A) The forces acting on the box are the pulling force that the worker exerts on the rope, the friction, the normal force, and the gravitational force. See the attached diagram. Since the pulling force on the rope makes an angle with the horizontal, this will have components in the x and y-axis (see diagram).

In the y-axis, the box does not move, therefore:

(1)

where is the given angle of the rope with the horizontal.

In the x-axis, the box moves with an acceleration that can be calculated as a function of the given displacement and time interval as:

and the force equation is:

now substituting from equation (1):

and putting the expression for the acceleration:

(2)

which is the requested expression

B) Substituting the values in (2) and using :

The gravitational force acting on the box is:

Thus, the magnitude of the pulling force is 24 % of the magnitude of the gravitational force acting on the box.

assuming you mean addition: addition and subtraction are reverse operations.

step-by-step explanation:

the required function is .

step-by-step explanation:

from the given table it is noticed that the graph passing through (-3,7), (0,4), (3,1) and (8,-4).

it is a linear function because the value of y is decrease by one as the value of x increase by 1.

the slope of the function is

the slope of the function is -1 and the y-intercept is 4.

the slope intercept form is

where, m is slope and b is y-intercept.

therefore the required function is . the graph of this function is shown below.
