A cart weighing 60 lb is placed on a ramp inclined at 15° to the horizontal. The cart is held in place by a rope inclined at 60° to the horizontal, as shown in the figure. Find the force that the rope must exert on the cart to keep it from rolling down the ramp. (Round your answer to one decimal place in lbs.)

Answers

Answer 1

I assume you ignore friction. The cart is held in equilibrium, so the net force on the cart is zero.

There are 3 forces acting on the cart:

• weight (magnitude w, pointing down)

• normal force (mag. n, pointing perpendicular to the ramp)

• tension in the rope (mag. t, pointing 60º from the horizontal, or equivalently 60º - 15º = 45º from the parallel direction)

Split up the forces into horizontal and vertical components. We have

• horizontal:

t cos(60º) + n cos(105º) = 0

• vertical:

n sin(105º) + (-w) = 0

(the normal force has a direction of 105º from the horizontal because it's perpendicular to the ramp, so it forms an angle of 90º with the ramp, plus the 15º inclination of the ramp itself)

We're given that w = 60 lb, so

n sin(105º) = 60 lb

n ≈ 62.1 lb

Solve for t :

t cos(60º) = -n cos(105º)

t = -n cos(105º)/cos(60º)

t32.2 lb

solve equation for Y. 23=5x-2y

Answers

Answer:

y=5/2x-23/2 or y=2.5x-11.5

Step-by-step explanation:

First, add 2y to move it to the other side of the equation. This should give you 2y+23=5x. Now, subtract 23, giving you 2y=5x-23. Divide the whole equation by 2 so that y will be by itself. Written in fraction form, it would be: y=5/2x-23/2. Written in decimal form: y=2.5x-11.5.

The altitude of a triangle is increasing at a rate of 1 cm/min while the area of the triangle is increasing at a rate of 2 cm^2/min. At what rate is the base of the triangle changing when the altitude is 10 cm and the area is 120 cm^2?

Answers

Answer:

The base is decreasing at 2 cm/min.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of a triangle is given by:

[tex] A = \frac{1}{2}bh [/tex]   (1)

Where:

b: is the base

h: is the altitude = 10 cm

If we take the derivative of equation (1) as a function of time we have:

[tex] \frac{dA}{dt} = \frac{1}{2}(\frac{db}{dt}h + \frac{dh}{dt}b) [/tex]

We can find the base by solving equation (1) for b:

[tex] b = \frac{2A}{h} = \frac{2*120 cm^{2}}{10 cm} = 24 cm [/tex]

Now, having that dh/dt = 1 cm/min, dA/dt = 2 cm²/min we can find db/dt:

[tex] 2 cm^{2}/min = \frac{1}{2}(\frac{db}{dt}*10 cm + 1 cm/min*24 cm) [/tex]

[tex]\frac{db}{dt} = \frac{2*2 cm^{2}/min - 1 cm/min*24 cm}{10 cm} = -2 cm/min[/tex]    

         

Therefore, the base is decreasing at 2 cm/min.

The number of accidents per week at a hazardous intersection varies with mean 2.2 and standard deviation 1.4. The distribution of this particular variable is very right skewed.(a) Suppose we let (X-bar) be the mean number of accidents per week at the intersection during 9 randomly chosen weeks. What is the probability that (X-bar) is less than 2?(b) Now let X be the mean number of accidents per week at the intersection during a year (52 weeks). What is the probability that X is less than 2?

Answers

Answer:

The probability that sample mean is less than 2  is 0.1423.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X denote the number of accidents per week at a hazardous intersection.

It is provided that the mean and standard deviation of X are, μ = 2.2 and σ = 1.4.

(a)

According to the Central Limit Theorem if an unknown population is selected with mean μ and standard deviation σ and appropriately huge random samples (n > 30) are selected from this population with replacement, then the distribution of the sample means will be approximately normally.  

Then, the mean of the sample means is given by,

[tex]\mu_{\bar x}=\mu[/tex]

And the standard deviation of the sample means is given by,

[tex]\sigma_{\bar x}=\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

As the sample size is not large enough, i.e. n = 9 < 30, the Central Limit Theorem cannot be applied to approximate the sampling distribution of the mean number of accidents per week at the intersection.

And since the distribution of X is not specified, the probability cannot be computed.

(b)

In this case, the sample size is large enough, i.e. n = 52 > 30, the Central Limit Theorem can be applied to approximate the sampling distribution of the mean number of accidents per week at the intersection.

Compute the probability that sample mean is less than 2 as follows:

[tex]P(\bar X<2)=P(\frac{\bar X-\mu_{\bar x}}{\sigma_{\bar x}}<\frac{2-2.2}{1.4/\sqrt{56}})\\\\=P(Z<-1.07)\\\\=0.14231\\\\\approx 0.1423[/tex]

Thus, the probability that sample mean is less than 2  is 0.1423.

Answers

Answer:

61.2

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we would have to use the arithmetic progression formula

S(n) = a + (n - 1) d, where

S(n) = is the value of the nth term

a = value of the first term

n = the nth term we're interested in

d = difference between successive terms

We're given that the first term, a1 = 1.we also know that the 6th term, a6 = 44

If so, we can use this to get our "d", saying

44 = 1 + (6 - 1) d

where

44 is the value of the 6th term, and n is 6. Also, the first term a = 1. Simplifying further we have

44 = 1 + 5d

5d = 44 - 1

5d = 43

d = 43/5

d = 8.6

This means that the difference between successive term is 8.6, we then use this "d" to find our 8th term

S(n) = 1 + (8 - 1) 8.6

S(n) = 1 + 7 * 8.6

S(n) = 1 + 60.2

S(n) = 61.2

Therefore, the 8th term is 61.2

In the library on a university campus, there is a sign in the elevator that indicates a limit of 16 persons. Furthermore, there is a weight limit of 2500 lb. Assume that the average weight of students, faculty, and staff on campus is 151 lb, that the standard deviation is 25 lb, and that the distribution of weights of individuals on campus is approximately normal. If a random sample of 16 persons from the campus is to be taken:

a. What is the expected value of the sample mean of their weights?
b. What is the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample mean weight?
c. What average weights for a sample of 16 people will result in the total weight exceeding the weight limit of 2500 lb?
d. What is the chance that a random sample of 16 persons on the elevator will exceed the weight limit?

Answers

Answer:

Explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Central Limit Theorem if an unknown population is selected with mean μ and standard deviation σ and appropriately huge random samples (n > 30) are selected from this population with replacement, then the distribution of the sample means will be approximately normally.  

Then, the mean of the sample means is given by,

[tex]\mu_{\bar x}=\mu[/tex]

And the standard deviation of the sample means is given by,

[tex]\sigma_{\bar x}=\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

a

The expected value of the sample mean of their weights is same as the population mean, μ = 1515 lbs.

b

The standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample mean weight is:

[tex]\sigma_{\bar x}=\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=\frac{25}{\sqrt{16}}=6.25[/tex]

c.

The average weights for a sample of 16 people will result in the total weight exceeding the weight limit of 2500 lbs. is:

[tex]\text{Average Weight}=\frac{2500}{16}=156.25[/tex]

d

Compute the probability that a random sample of 16 persons on the elevator will exceed the weight limit as follows:

[tex]P(\bar X > 156.25)=P(\frac{\bar X-\mu_{\bar x}}{\sigma_{\bar x}}>\frac{156.25-151}{6.25})\\\\=P(Z>0.84)\\\\=1-P(Z<0.84)\\\\=1-0.79955\\\\=0.20045\\\\\approx 0.20[/tex]

However the ordinate of the point B'  will have the opposite sign as ardinate  B. However the module of ordinate B'  is going to be the same as module of orrdinate B.

Suppose that E and f are two events and that P(E and F)=0.3 and P(E)=0.5. What is P(F/E)?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]P(F/E) = 0.6[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

If we are given two dependent events [tex]A[/tex] and [tex]B[/tex] such that their chances of occurrence or the probabilities of the events are: [tex]P(A)[/tex] and [tex]P(B)[/tex].

Then the conditional probability that the event [tex]B[/tex] will occur given that [tex]A[/tex] has already occurred is given by the following formula:

[tex]P(B/A) = \dfrac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}[/tex]

Here the two events given are [tex]E[/tex] and [tex]F[/tex].

[tex]P(E\ and\ F)\ or\ P(E\cup F) = 0.3[/tex]

and [tex]P(E) = 0.5[/tex]

As per the above formula that we have already discussed, the formula can be written as:

[tex]P(F/E) = \dfrac{P(E \cap F)}{P(E)}\\\Rightarrow P(F/E) = \dfrac{0.3}{0.5}\\\Rightarrow P(F/E) = \dfrac{3}{5}\\\Rightarrow \bold{P(F/E) = 0.6}[/tex]
