FORMULA CALCULATION PROBLEM about FORCE

[gianne671]

Homework Statement

1.)I can't get it why a friend of mine from this forum is getting 56.01N and me 56.70N
2.) I got this solution 50Ncos30-(0.02(20(9.8)-50sin30))/20, what did you get??
3.) (0.4(20x9.8))/cos30+(0.4(sin30)) what did you get?

Homework Equations

1)F= (0.1(50x9.8))/(cos25 - (0.1sin25))
2)50Ncos30-(0.02(20(9.8)-50sin30))/20
3) (0.4(20x9.8))/cos30+(0.4(sin30)) what did you get?

The Attempt at a Solution

1)F= (0.1(50x9.8))/(cos25 - (0.1sin25)) =56.70N

and my friend got 56.01N?

2) 50Ncos30-(0.02(20(9.8)-50sin30))/20=1.99m/s^2
3) (0.4(20x9.8))/cos30+(0.4(sin30))= 73.5N

all I'm asking is your answers on this following formula..

 

[Delphi51]

F= (0.1(50x9.8))/(cos25 - (0.1sin25)) =56.70N

I agree.
It would be interesting to try the calc with calculator on radians and see if you get 56.01.

so you agree with me? that my answer is correct?? 56.70N? how about the other equations? what did you get?

 

[I like Serena]

Let's see:
2) 50Ncos30-(0.02(20(9.8)-50sin30))/20 = 43.1
3) (0.4(20x9.8))/cos30+(0.4(sin30)) = 90.7

I see a mismatch...

But, seeing the structure of your formula, I suspect you need:
2) (50Ncos30-0.02(20(9.8)-50sin30))/20 = 1.99

I cannot provide an exact answer without knowing the specific context and values used in the calculations. However, I can provide some explanations and suggestions for you to check your calculations.

Firstly, it is important to double check your calculations to make sure that you have used the correct formula and values. In the first problem, it seems like you and your friend may have used different values for the angle or the gravitational acceleration. This could result in different values for the force.

In the second problem, it is not clear what the 0.02 represents in the equation. Make sure you are using the correct units and that all values are accounted for.

In the third problem, it is important to use the correct formula for calculating force. The formula you have used seems to be for calculating acceleration. Also, make sure to convert all units to the appropriate SI units.

In general, it is always a good idea to double check your calculations and make sure you are using the correct formula and values. If you are still unsure, try asking for clarification or assistance from your teacher or a peer. Good luck with your homework!
