Two men decide to use their cars to pull a truck stuck in the mud. they attach ropes and one pulls with a force of 615 n at an angle of 31◦with respect to the direction in which the truck is headed, while the other car pulls with a force of 961 n at an angle of 25◦with respect to the same direction. what is the net forward force exerted on the truck in the direction it is headed? answer in units of n.

1398.12 N

Explanation:

We define the x-axis in the direction parallel to the movement of the truck  on and the y-axis in the direction perpendicular to it.

x-components  of the ropes forces

T₁x = 615N*cos31°=527.1579 N  :Tension in direction x of the rope of the car 1

T₂x= 961 N*cos25°=870.96 N  :Tension in direction x of the rope of the car 2

Net forward force exerted on the truck in the direction it is headed (Fnx)

Fnx = T₁x  + T₂x

Fnx = 527.1579 N  + 870.96 N

Fnx = 1398.12 N

the small 0.38-kg slider is known to move from position a to position b along the vertical-plane slot. determine (a) the work done on the body by its weight and (b) the work done on the body by the spring. the distance r = 0.70 m, the spring modulus k = 154 n/m, and the unstretched length of the spring is 0.53 m
