In: Physics
A ring of mass 10 kg is being pulled by three ropes, similar to the ring on the force table experiment from your lab class.
One rope is pulling with a force of 200 N, the second rope is pulling with a force of 300 N and in a direction that is 98 degrees counterclockwise from the first rope.
The third rope is pulling with a force of 400 N and in a direction that is 90 degrees clockwise from the first rope.
Please answer in the space below and upload a picture of your work for full credit.
a. What is the acceleration vector of the ring? Give your answer as a vector with x and y components.
b. What is the total displacement vector (using the starting point as the origin) after 5 seconds of this pulling, if it started from rest? Give your answer as a vector with x and y components.
c. In that 5 second time period, how much total work was done on the ring? Hint: A dot B = AxBx +AyBy
