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 />

Find the points of intersection of the following function graphs: y=20x−70 and y=70x+30
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

(-2,-110)

Step-by-step explanation:

First solve for x

20x−70=70x+30

x= -2

Now substitute x for -2

y=20x−70

y=20(-2)-70

y = -110

8 miles in 0.5 hour what rate in miles per hour
yan [13]
In this question it is already given that a person travels 8 miles in 0.5 hours. This is enough information to get to the required answer. Let us first write down all the information's that are already given in the question.
In 0.5 hours the person covers a distance = 8 miles
Then
In 1 hour the person covers a distance of = 8/0.5 miles
                                                                   = 16 miles
So the speed of the person in miles per hour = 16/1 miles/hour
                                                                         = 16 miles per hour
