Hi there! Can someone please help? Suppose that you need to get a heavy couch into the bed of a pickup truck. You know the bed of the truck is at a height of 1.00 mm and you need a ramp that makes an angle of 40 with the ground if you are to be able to push the couch. Use the sine function to determine how long of a board you need to use to make a ramp that just reaches the 1.00-mm high truck bed at a 40∘∘angle to the ground.

A 1.25 m long cable has a diameter 3.50 mm with a Young’s Modulus, E, of 9.75 x 109 N/m2 . When the wire is placed under tension, it experiences a stress of 202.52 x 106 N/m2 , the length of the cable extends by 36.35 mm. Calculate the force that the cable experiences under tension and the strain energy density (U/V) due to deformation. Give your answers in newtons (N) to 2 decimal places for the force; and in joules per cubic metre (J/m3 ) for the strain energy density to 2 decimal places. Assume the cable is solid and the material is homogeneous.
After an unfortunate accident occurred at a local warehouse, you were contracted to determine the cause. A jib crane collapsed and injured a worker. An image of this type of crane is shown in the figure.The horizontal steel beam had a mass of 83.40 kg per meter of length, and the tension in the cable was ?=11130 N. The crane was rated for a maximum load of 500 kg. If ?=6.160 m, ?=0.450 m, ?=1.300 m, and ℎ=1.890 m, what was the magnitude of ?L (the load on the crane) before the collapse? The acceleration due to gravity is ?=9.810 m/s2. ?L= What was the magnitude of force ?P at the attachment point P? Fp=
