    Mechanics, specifically Moment question

    Wouldnt the force anywhere still be 48 N since the couple cancels each other out, and leaves only the moment? Also, is the line of action just the direction/line that the force follows?

    Mechanics, specifically Moment question

    Homework Statement Also, I am not entirely sure what the question is exactly asking. Also, what does the line of action represent? Homework Equations M = Fx(Perpendicular distance) + Fy(Perpendicular distance) For couples: M=Fd The Attempt at a Solution i was thinking...

    How Do You Solve Trig Identities Using Basic Trigonometric Equations?

    kk got it. RS =(1 + secθ) / (secθ - 1) =(1 + 1/cosθ) / (1/cosθ - 1) =([cosθ+1] / cosθ) / ([1-cosθ] / cosθ) =[(cosθ+1)(cosθ)] / [(1-cosθ)(cosθ)] cancel cosθ =(1 + cosθ) / (1 - cosθ)

    Solving Long Jump Question: Find Takeoff Speed

    oh wouldn't the final velocity be 0 when it reaches a maximum height? because he would have stopped moving up?
