Hank and Harry are two ice skaters whiling away time by playing 'tug of war' between practice sessions. They hold on to opposite ends of the same rope and pull the other toward him. The magnitude of Hank's acceleration is 1.26 times greater than the magnitude of Harry's acceleration. What is the ratio of Hank's mass to Harry's mass?

the ratio of Hank's mass to Harry's mass is 0.7937 or [ 0.7937 : 1

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Hank and Harry are two ice skaters, since both are on top of ice, we assume that friction is negligible.

We know that from Newton's Second Law;

Force = mass × Acceleration

F = ma

Since they hold on to opposite ends of the same rope. They have the same magnitude of force |F|, which is the same as the tension in the rope.

Now,

Mass × Acceleration = Mass × Acceleration

so

Mass /  Mass = Acceleration / Acceleration

given that; magnitude of Hank's acceleration is 1.26 times greater than the magnitude of Harry's acceleration,

Mass /  Mass = 1 / 1.26

Mass /  Mass = 0.7937 or [ 0.7937 : 1 ]

Therefore, the ratio of Hank's mass to Harry's mass is 0.7937 or [ 0.7937 : 1 ]

Hello there. I did this assignment during segment 1 of my class.

I went back and found my answer that I put

I hope anyone can use this for some help! :)

Explanation:

In “Letter from Birmingham Jail” Martin Luther King Jr. structures his ideas strategically as he uses symbolism and rhetorical questions to persuade his readers to help put an end to segregation.

I know the answer doesn't make since but if it is the same assignment i did i got an 100% with this response.
