The tension has to hold the part of the weight in the direction of the string:
T = mg*cos(theta)
Theta=0, whole weight, theta=90, T=0, if the pendulum is horizontal, the string will be loose! Yeah
Answer:
The answer is already given... it's 31.25 cm
Explanation:
Work done by winch = kinetic energy of car
∫ T ds = ½ mv²
∫ 225s ds = ½ mv²
225/2 s² = ½ mv²
225 s² = mv²
v = 15s / √m
Given s = 10 m and m = 2500 kg:
v = 15 (10) / √2500
v = 3 m/s
During a total solar eclipse, the moon passes between Earth and the sun. This completely blocks out the sun’s light. However, the moon is about 400 times smaller than the sun. How can it block all of that light?
