a. The expression for the tension in the string is T = mg

b. The expression for the tension in the chain is T = 2mg

To solve the problem, we need to know what tension is.

<h3>What is tension?</h3>

This is the opposing force in a stretched material.

<h3>a. Tension in the string</h3>

The expression for the tension in the string is T = mg

Since the string supports the weight of the object, the tension in the string equals the weight of the particle.

Let

  • T = tension in sring and
  • W = weight of particle = mg where
  • m = mass of particle and
  • g = acceleration due to gravity

So, T = W

T = mg

So, the expression for the tension in the string is T = mg

<h3>b. Tension in chain</h3>

The expression for the tension in the chain is T = 2mg

<h3 />

Since the chain supports both strings, the tension in the chain equals the tension in both strings.

Let

  • T' = tension in chain and
  • T = tension in each string

So, T' = T + T

T' = 2T

T' = 2W

T' = 2mg

So, the expression for the tension in the chain is T = 2mg

<h3 />

Ricardo spends 8/9 hr. reading the paper. He spends 1/4 of the time reading world news and splits the remaining time equally bet
lapo4ka [179]
Total time spent reading is = 8/9 hour

He spends 1/4 of the time reading world news. That is =  1/4 * 8/9 =  2/9 hour

Splits the remaining time equally.  Remaining time =  8/9 - 2/9 =  6/9

Splitting it equally =  6/9  divided by 2 =  6/9  * 1/2 =  3/9  = 1/3

Time spent reading comic is = 1/3 hour

I hope this helps.
