An ant is crawling along a straight wire, which we shall call the x axis, from A to B to C to D (which overlaps A), as shown in the figure below. O is the origin. Suppose you take measurements and find that AB is 31 cm , BC is 12 cm , and AO is 7 cm .(Figure 1) A. What is the ant’s position at point A?

B. What is the ant’s position at point B?

C. What is the ant’s position at point C?

D. What is the ant’s position at point D?

Ants position at point A = -7 cm

Ants position at point B = 38 cm

Ants position at point C = 26 cm

Ants position at point D = -7 cm

Explanation:

In this question, we are dealing with displacement which is the change in position of an object.

Now, we are told the journey began from A to B and then from C to D.

Now, AB = 31 cm and AO = 7cm

But along AB, we have the origin O.

Since A is on the left hand side of the origin, it means it is negative. Thus, position A = -7cm

Then position B = 31 - (-7) = 31 + 7 = 38 cm

Since BC = 12cm, then position C = 38 - 12 = 26 cm

Position D is same as position A = -7cm

weight of the box is given as

here this is placed on the inclined of angle 42 degree

now this weight will have two components one is along the incline other is perpendicular to it

so here we need to apply a force parallel to incline opposite to its component of weight

so here the component of weight is given as

here we have

so it requires 75 n force to move it upwards
