A 27.76 N crate is being lowered down at a constant rate along an inclined ramp by a massless rope. Find the magnitude of force F in N if the angle between the ramp and the horizontal is 30 degrees and coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.2. See the figure attached. My attempt at solution:

Sum F y = 0
F y = F n - F g y
F n = m g cos(30)

Sum F x = F g x - F - f k = 0
F = F g x - f k
F = m g sin(30) - mu k Fn
F = m g sin(30) - 0.2(m g cos(30))

F = 27.76sin(30) - 0.2(27.76cos(30))
F = 9 N

What do you think car designers do if the damage caused by a crash test is too severe?

An ideal otto cycle has a compression ratio of 10.5, takes in air at 90 kpa and 40°c, and is repeated 2500 times per minute. using constant specific heats at room temperature, determine the thermal efficiency of this cycle and the rate of heat input if the cycle is to produce 90 kw of power.

Asatellite that goes around the earth once every 24 hours iscalled a geosynchronous satellite. if a geosynchronoussatellite is in an equatorial orbit, its position appearsstationary with respect to a ground station, and it is known as ageostationary satellite find the radius rof the orbit of a geosynchronous satellite that circles the earth.(note that ris measured from the center of the earth, not the surface.) you mayuse the following constants: the universal gravitational constant g is 6.67 \times 10^{-11}\; {\rm n \; m^2 / kg^2}. the mass of the earth is 5.98 \times 10^{24}\; {\rm kg}. the radius of the earth is 6.38 \times 10^{6}\; {\rm m}.
