Capitolo 4, Problema 4a

A man is dragging a trunk up the loading ramp of a mover's truck. The ramp has a slope angle of 20.020.0°, and the man pulls upward with a force F→\(\overrightarrow{F}\) whose direction makes an angle of 30.030.0° with the ramp (Fig. E4.44.4). How large a force F→\(\overrightarrow{F}\) is necessary for the component FxF_{x} parallel to the ramp to be 90.090.0 N?

Step 1: Understand the problem. The goal is to find the magnitude of the force F→ such that its component parallel to the ramp (Fx) equals 90.0 N. The ramp is inclined at an angle of 20.0°, and the force F→ is applied at an angle of 30.0° relative to the ramp.
Step 2: Recall the relationship between the components of a force and its direction. The parallel component Fx of the force F→ can be expressed as Fx = F * cos(θ), where θ is the angle between the force and the direction of the ramp.
Step 3: Substitute the given values into the formula. Here, Fx = 90.0 N and θ = 30.0°. The equation becomes 90.0 = F * cos(30.0°).
Step 4: Solve for F. Rearrange the equation to isolate F: F = Fx / cos(30.0°).
Step 5: Use the cosine function to calculate cos(30.0°). You can then substitute this value into the equation to find the magnitude of F. Note that cos(30.0°) is a standard trigonometric value, approximately equal to √3/2.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Force Components

In physics, forces can be broken down into components that act along specific directions. For a force F acting at an angle, its components can be calculated using trigonometric functions: Fx = F * cos(θ) and Fy = F * sin(θ). Understanding how to resolve forces into their components is crucial for analyzing situations involving inclined planes and angles.

Inclined Plane

An inclined plane is a flat surface tilted at an angle to the horizontal, which affects the forces acting on objects moving along it. The gravitational force acting on an object can be decomposed into two components: one parallel to the incline, which causes the object to slide down, and one perpendicular to the incline, which affects the normal force. The angle of the incline plays a significant role in determining these forces.

Newton's Second Law

Newton's Second Law states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass, expressed as F = ma. This principle is essential for understanding how forces interact in a system, particularly when calculating the necessary force to achieve a specific acceleration or to counteract other forces, such as friction or gravity on an incline.
