    Thank you so much!! Physics is one of those things where it will not make sense until that moment where it all of the sudden clicks.. and to do that you need a good teacher. So thank you!

    Dr. Holt,
    When you solved for FAB you divided both sides of the equation by the wrong value. You should divided both sides by -.8 to get the value that you obtained because if you divide by -.857 you will get FAC=.933 FAB.

  • @MsLouloulepou
    @MsLouloulepou 11 лет назад

    Your approach is correct.
    However, if we don't round off to get the approximate values for theta1 & theta2, we can get a better result.
    tan(theta 1) = 3/4 => sin(theta1) = 3/5, cos(theta1) = 4/5 .
    tan (theta 2) = 3/5 => cos (theta2) = 5/sqrt(34) , sin(theta2) = 3/sqrt(34).
    The system of equations will be :
    resolve (vertically) :
    3/5* Fab + 3/sqrt(34)* Fac = 30g .
    resolve (horizontally)
    - 4/5 * Fab + 5/sqrt(34)* Fac = 0
    => Fab = 250/ 9 * g = 272.2 (N) , Fac = 40*sqrt(34) * g/ 9 = 253.97 N

    Newton's 3rd law is that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. The object isn't moving, so there are equal forces acting in opposite directions. If you imagine that the weight is on the y-axis of a graph, the AB vector is going in the negative x direction while the AC vector is going in the positive x direction.

  • @sgrocker1
    @sgrocker1 9 лет назад

    Two easy formulas that answer this type of problem every time without all of the equations. Each uses three angles. A,B and C. In the problem above the angles are: A = 30.96, B = 36.87, C = 112.17(angle C is the angle between A & B) Angle C is calculated as 180-(A+B) = 112.17 Also, FAD in this problem is 294.
    FAC =(FAD*Cos(B))/Sin(C) and FAB =(FAD*Cos(A))/Sin(C) Note: The answers will differ slightly than in the video because this method doesn't do rounding early in the problem(except for the angle measures) as is done in the video. You can eliminate rounding angles if you have a calculator that will store to variables then use the stored values in the calculation.
    Even if you must use the equations as in the video, these formulas are good for self-checking your answer.

  • @robertslayerofmonsters1302
    @robertslayerofmonsters1302 9 месяцев назад +1

    I think the answers for Fab and Fac given in the video are incorrect, since their vector sum is not even approximately equal to Fad, which is 294 N. For Fab and Fac, I get 163 N and 191 N, which on vector addition appropriately give SQRT(163^2+191^2+2(163)(191)cos(37 deg +31 deg)) = 294 N.

  • @Gepodm
    @Gepodm 11 лет назад

    No, he is actually correct in saying that "Fab = 1.07Fac" but was in error in cancelling out -0.875 in order to isolate Fab when he shouldve divided all by 0.8.

  • @katherinehuynh6075
    @katherinehuynh6075 8 лет назад +8

    I think there's a mistake. I got the same answer for F(ab) but my F(ac) is greater than F(ab). How could .8/.857=1.07???? I think your problem is right there...

    • @LightShowBeau
      @LightShowBeau 8 лет назад +2

      He went the other way and solved for FAB by divided both sides by -.80. so the -.80 cancelled out leaving FAB = 1.07FAC. The math is right but he messed up his demonstration because he went one way of solving it in the demonstration but forgot that the answers to each step that he wrote down were from solving in the other direction. Do you understand what I mean?

  • @yizongk

    • @Ghost572
      @Ghost572 9 лет назад +1

      Siphelele Kondlo He doesn't explain it very well at that point, he moves numbers over to the left side then they magically appear next to FAC? Pretty sure it looks wrong from hwere I'm standing considering he hasn't explained how that happened mathematically.

    • @joelhaire5214
      @joelhaire5214 9 лет назад +1

    • @Ghost572
      @Ghost572 9 лет назад +3

      Joel Haire The thing is he moved all his numbers over to one side then writes FAB= 1.07FAC without even mentioning why. I know how to do mathematics but the explanation isn't very good. Hence why I said he doesn't explain it very well.
      you know in 5th grade mathematics and through most of school your told to show your working out, which would be ESPECIALLY important when teaching someone

    • @joelhaire5214
      @joelhaire5214 9 лет назад

      Ghost572 I noticed as I watched the video carefully, it should state that Fac=1.07Fab using basic linear work, he's made a simple mistake and just written it the other way around, and also since he is teaching to lets say everyone that comes across this video on youtube that doesn't understand his concepts, should consider a minute or 2 at ending of this video for an explanation to the mathematics side of things so all people can comprehend.

    Why do you round to a different number of decimal places in each number? Is there a recommended number of decimal places to use in order to get a more accurate answer? Should it not be consistent? Would it not be better to use all decimal places in the steps and only round them up in the final answer?

    So on a 500' 65° decline..600plb weight..... Tree to tree guy wire. Using 5/8 braided cable. The tree at the top, the wire is attached 15' up. On the bottom tree, the wire is attached 20' up from the ground.
    The 600plb object is 8' long and 5+1/2' wide and 3' tall in height. Will be suspended by ropes and three equally spaced tandem pulley trolleys. Where as the top of the 600plb object leading to the bottom of the guy wire will be 9'. How do I know how tight the guy wire needs to be so that the object doesn't hit the ground but ends within 20' of the bottom tree and about 1+1/2' from the ground?

    solving for Fab is 1.07.
    He just solved for the wrong tension and wrote the other tension
    it should have been .857/.8= 1.07

    I realized later there was an error and if I get time, I may correct it. Sorry about that; however, I hope the approach that I use is helpful.

      if you make the free body diagram you can see that the vector points towards the upper left of the diagram. Since we are looking for x, the arrow is pointing in the negative direction. if we were looking for y then it would be in the positive since its pointing up. Well at least that's why I think its negative. I could be wrong
