A) To draw a sketch showing the forces acting on the climber, start by drawing a vertical line to represent the rock face. Label it as "rock face" or "vertical." Then, draw a line at an angle of 50 degrees from the vertical line to represent the force X exerted by the rock on the climber. Label this line as "X." Next, draw another line at an angle of 40 degrees from the vertical line to represent the force provided by the rope. Label this line as "rope" or "Y." Finally, draw a horizontal line to complete the sketch, connecting the ends of the X and Y lines.
B) From the sketch of the forces, you can draw a triangle representing equilibrium. Start by extending the vertical line above point X, and label the extended line as "force due to gravity" or simply "weight." Next, draw a line from the top of the vertical line to the end of the rope line, forming a triangle. Label this line as "tension" or "force due to the rope." Finally, draw a line from the end of the tension line back to point X, completing the triangle.
C) Now, using the triangle of forces, we can find the values of X (the force exerted by the rock) and Y (the force provided by the rope).
1) To find X, we can use trigonometry. In the triangle, X is the adjacent side to the angle of 50 degrees. The opposite side to this angle is the weight (force due to gravity) of the climber. Let's assume the acceleration due to gravity is approximately 9.8 m/s^2. Therefore, the weight of the climber is mass (80 kg) multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2), which equals 784 N. To find X, we can use the cosine function:
cos(50 degrees) = X / 784 N
Rearranging the equation, we have:
X = 784 N * cos(50 degrees)
Calculating X using a calculator, we find that X is approximately 503.68 N (rounded to two decimal places).
2) To find Y, we can use the same approach. In the triangle, Y is the opposite side to the angle of 40 degrees. The adjacent side to this angle is the weight (force due to gravity) of the climber. Using the same weight value of 784 N, we can use the sine function to find Y:
sin(40 degrees) = Y / 784 N
Rearranging the equation, we have:
Y = 784 N * sin(40 degrees)
Calculating Y using a calculator, we find that Y is approximately 502.25 N (rounded to two decimal places).
