Total Normal Force Acting on Slice given Weight of Slice Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Total Normal Force Acting on Slice given Weight of Slice?

FIRST Step Consider the formula

F n = \frac{W + X n - X (n+1) - (S \cdot \sin (\frac{θ \cdot π}{180}))}{\cos (\frac{θ \cdot π}{180})}

Next Step Substitute values of Variables

∴

F n = \frac{20N + 2.89N - 9.87N - (11.07N \cdot \sin (\frac{45° \cdot π}{180}))}{\cos (\frac{45° \cdot π}{180})}

Next Step Substitute values of Constants

∴

F n = \frac{20N + 2.89N - 9.87N - (11.07N \cdot \sin (\frac{45° \cdot 3.1416}{180}))}{\cos (\frac{45° \cdot 3.1416}{180})}

Next Step Convert Units

∴

F n = \frac{20N + 2.89N - 9.87N - (11.07N \cdot \sin (\frac{0.7854rad \cdot 3.1416}{180}))}{\cos (\frac{0.7854rad \cdot 3.1416}{180})}

Next Step Prepare to Evaluate

∴

F n = \frac{20 + 2.89 - 9.87 - (11.07 \cdot \sin (\frac{0.7854 \cdot 3.1416}{180}))}{\cos (\frac{0.7854 \cdot 3.1416}{180})}

Next Step Evaluate

∴

F n = 12.8694686736617N

LAST Step Rounding Answer

∴

F n = 12.8695N
