Yea, but I am still missing something, its not the correct answer.Thyphon said:
If the weight of block A is 175 lb that is equal to 79.5NThyphon said:
i got confused because 175 lb of weight = 175 lb mass.Thyphon said:
yea its correct now. thanksThyphon said:
Static equilibrium is a state in which an object is at rest and the net force acting on it is equal to zero. This means that the object's acceleration is zero and there is no change in its motion.
In pulley and inclined plane problems, the goal is to find the point where the net force is equal to zero, which indicates that the system is in static equilibrium. This allows us to solve for unknown forces or tensions in the system.
A pulley is a simple machine consisting of a grooved wheel and a rope or cable that runs along the groove. It is used to change the direction of a force and can be either fixed or movable.
An inclined plane is a flat surface that is sloped at an angle. It is used to reduce the amount of force needed to lift an object by increasing the distance over which the force is applied.
To solve pulley and inclined plane problems, you must first draw a free body diagram to identify all the forces acting on the system. Then, use Newton's laws of motion to set up equations and solve for unknown forces or tensions. Finally, check for static equilibrium by ensuring that the net force is equal to zero.
