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 />

What is the slope and y-intercept of this line?y -6x 2
Lelu [443]
In the slope intercept method, it is very simple to find the y intercept and the slope. The slope is always accompanied with the x so in this problem, the slope is -6 meaning it has a negative correlation (it's pointing down on the graph) the y intercept is the other number on that side of the equals sign. It is 2 and is positive.

5 2/3 - 2 5/6 how much is this
Bond [772]

if those are fractions being five and two thirds etc... I believe it would be 17/6. if you convert to improper fractions and then get a common denominator to subtract that should do it. Hope that helps.

How many quarts are in 40 gallons
Dafna11 [192]
To find out how many quarts there are in 40 gallons, we simply need to know how many quarts there are in one gallon. As the name implies, there are 4 quarts in one gallon, so we simply need to multiply 4 * 40 to find the amount of quarts in 40 gallons.

4 * 40 = 160

There are 160 quarts in 40 gallons.
Hope that helped! =)
