Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the components of the forces
  • Force \( F_1 \): Magnitude = 80.0 N, Angle = 65.0° above the negative x-axis in the second quadrant.
    • \( F_{1x} = -80.0 \cos(65.0°) \)
    • \( F_{1y} = 80.0 \sin(65.0°) \)
  • Force \( F_2 \): Magnitude = 65.0 N, Angle = 53.7° below the negative x-axis in the third quadrant.
    • \( F_{2x} = -65.0 \cos(53.7°) \)
    • \( F_{2y} = -65.0 \sin(53.7°) \)
Step 2: Calculate the components of each force
  • Force \( F_1 \):
    • \( F_{1x} = -80.0 \cos(65.0°) = -33.8 \) N
    • \( F_{1y} = 80.0 \sin(65.0°) = 72.5 \) N
  • Force \( F_2 \):
    • \( F_{2x} = -65.0 \cos(53.7°) = -38.6 \) N
    • \( F_{2y} = -65.0 \sin(53.7°) = -51.9 \) N
Step 3: Sum the components to find the resultant force
  • Resultant Force \( F_R \):
    • \( F_{Rx} = F_{1x} + F_{2x} = -33.8 + (-38.6) = -72.4 \) N
    • \( F_{Ry} = F_{1y} + F_{2y} = 72.5 + (-51.9) = 20.6 \) N

Final Answer

  • Magnitude of the resultant force:
    • \( F_R = \sqrt{F_{Rx}^2 + F_{Ry}^2} = \sqrt{(-72.4)^2 + (20.6)^2} = 75.3 \) N
  • Angle of the resultant force:
    • \( \theta = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{F_{Ry}}{F_{Rx}}\right) = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{20.6}{-72.4}\right) = -15.9° \) (below the negative x-axis)

In 2001, the mean household expenditure for energy was 1493 according to data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration. An economist wanted to know whether this amount has changed significantly from its 2001 level. In a random sample of 35 households, the economist found the mean expenditure (in 2001 dollars) for energy during the most recent year to be 1618 with a standard deviation of 321. State the hypotheses the economist should use.

Declare and define a function that computes bonus for an employee depending on the base salary and the number of years of experience of the employee. Inside the function, check the number of years of experience. If the number of years of experience is greater than 10 years, the bonus is 5% of the base salary, otherwise it is 3% of the base salary. You will need to call this function from your main function and pass the base salary and the number of years as arguments.
