The knot at the junction is in equilibrium under the influence of four forces acting on it. The F force acts from above on the left at an angle of α with the horizontal. The 5.7 N force acts from above on the right at an angle of 50◦ with the horizontal. The 6.2 N force acts from below on the right at an angle of 44◦ with the horizontal. The 6.7 N force acts from below on the left at an angle of 43◦ with the horizontal. 1. What is the magnitude of the force F?
2. What is the angle a of the force F in the figure above?

(a) The magnitude of the force F acting on the knot is 5.54 N.

(b) The angle α of the force F is 54.4⁰.

The given parameters:

F force at α 5.7 N force at 50⁰6.2 N force at 44⁰6.7 N force at 43⁰

The net vertical force on the knot is calculated as follows;

$F_y = Fsin(\alpha) + 5.7 sin(50) - 6.2 sin(44) - 6.7 sin(43)\\\\F_y = F sin(\alpha) -4.51\\\\Fsin(\alpha) = 4.51$

The net horizontal force on the knot is calculated as follows;

$F_x = -F cos(\alpha) + 5.7 cos(50) + 6.2cos(44) - 6.7cos(43)\\\\F_x = -Fcos(\alpha) + 3.22\\\\Fcos(\alpha) = 3.22$

From the trig identity;

$sin^2 \theta + cos^ 2 \theta = 1\\\\$

$(Fsin(\alpha))^2 + (Fcos(\alpha))^2 = (4.51)^2 + (3.22)^2\\\\F^2(sin^ 2\alpha + cos^2 \alpha) = 30.71\\\\F^2(1) = 30.71\\\\F = \sqrt{30.71} \\\\F = 5.54 \ N$

The angle α of the force F is calculated as follows;

$Fsin(\alpha) = 4.51\\\\sin(\alpha) = \frac{4.51}{F} \\\\sin(\alpha ) = \frac{4.51}{5.54} \\\\sin(\alpha ) = 0.814\\\\\alpha = sin^{-1}(0.814)\\\\\alpha = 54.5 \ ^0$

Answer from: imknutson962

The knot is in equilbrium, so there is no net force acting on it. Starting with the unknown force and going clockwise, denote each force by F₁, F₂, F₃, and F₄, respectively. We have

F₁ + F₂ + F₃ + F₄ = 0

Decomposing each force into horizontal and vertical components, we have

F cos(180º - α) + (5.7 N) cos(50º) + (6.2 N) cos(-44º) + (6.7 N) cos(-137º) = 0

F sin(180º - α) + (5.7 N) sin(50º) + (6.2 N) sin(-44º) + (6.7 N) sin(-137º) = 0

Recall that cos(180º - x) = - cos(x) and sin(180º - x) = sin(x), so these equations reduce to

F cos(α) ≈ - 3.22 N

F sin(α) ≈ 4.51 N

(1) Recall that for all x, sin²(x) + cos²(x) = 1. Use this identity to solve for F :

(F cos(α))² + (F sin(α))² = F ² ≈ 30.73 N² → F ≈ 5.5 N

(2) Use the definition of tangent to solve for α :

tan(α) = sin(α) / cos(α) ≈ 1.399 → α ≈ 126º

or about 54º from the horizontal from above on the left of the knot.

the answer is false. this is because for ice to melt, it requires latent heat of melting. latent heat means heat energy required to change phase without any increase in temperatures. therefore, the ice will take energy from the environment to melt hence atmospheric temperatures will reduce.

Uranium has two naturally occurring isotopes. 238u has a natural abundance of 99.3% and 235u has an abundance of 0.7%. it is the rarer 235u that is needed for nuclear reactors. the isotopes are separated by forming uranium hexafluoride uf6, which is a gas, then allowing it to diffuse through a series of porous membranes. 235uf6 has a slightly larger rms speed than 238uf6 and diffuses slightly faster. many repetitions of this procedure gradually separate the two isotopes. what is the ratio of the rms speed of 235uf6 to that of 238uf6? express your answer to five significant figures.
