Question

A horizontal uniform 1.20-N meter stick is held up by two vertical strings, one at the 20-cm mark and the other at the 60-cm mark. What is the tension in the string at the 60-cm mark

Answer 1

The tension in the string at the 60-cm mark will be 0.9 N.The tension force is applied along the whole length of the wire, pulling energy equally on both ends.

What is tension force?

The tension force is described as the force transferred through a rope, string, or wire as it is pulled by opposing forces.

The given data in the problem is;

The length of  the stick is, L= 1.20 m =120 cm

T is the tension in the string at the 60-cm mark;

T₁ is the tension at the 20-cm mark

From the torque equilibrium law;

$\rm mg(30)-T_2(40)+T_2 (40) =0 \\\\\ T_1(0)=mg (30)\\\\\ T_2(40)=1.2 (30) \\\\ T_2= 0.9 \ N$

Hence the tension in the string at the 60-cm mark will be 0.9 N.
