Two boxes are connected to each other by a string as shown in the figure. The 10-n box slides without friction on the horizontal

table surface. The pulley is ideal and the string has negligible mass. What is true about the tension t in the string?

Answer:

T=7.4 N hence T<30 N

Explanation:

The figure is likely to be similar to the one attached. Writing the equation for forces we have

F-T=Fa/g where F is the force, T is tension, a is acceleration and g is acceleration due to gravity. Substituting the figures we have the first equation as

30 N - T = (30/9.81)a

Also, we know that T=F*a/g and substituting  10N for F we obtain the second equation as

T = (10/9.81)a

Adding the first and second equations we obtain

30 = 4.077471967

a Hence

a=\frac {30}{4.077471967}=7.3575 m/s^{2}

and T=a hence

T is approximately 7.4 N

Answer:

<h2>T < 30N</h2>

Explanation:

According to the figure, we have a system with 2 blocks attached by a string which passes through a pulley. In this case, we have to use Newton't law to find the tension of the string. We need to analyse each block to know what vertical and horizontal forces are present in each of them.

10N block:

Horizontal forces: Tension (T).

Vertical forces: Weight (W).

There's no friction and knowing this values, we can find the mass using: W = mg.

So, m = \frac{W}{g} = \frac{10}{9.8} =1.02 kg.

30N block:

There's no horizontal forces because the block is suspended.

Vertical forces: Tension and Weight.

We can calculate the mass using W = mg

So, m = \frac{W}{g} = \frac{30}{9.8} = 3.06 kg.

Now, we analyse the system, to do so, we need to express vertical forces interactions and horizontal forces interactions:

According to second Newton's Law \sum F = ma.

So, vertically for 30N block: \sum F_{y} = W_{30} - T=ma

Then, horizontally for 10N block: \sum F_{x}= T = ma

So, \left \{ {{W_{30} -T=m_{30} a} \atop {T=m_{10} a}} \right..

Now we have to solve this system replacing <em>a </em>from the second equation into the first one:

a=\frac{T}{m_{10} }

W_{30} - T = m_{30}(\frac{T}{m_{10} }   )

Replacing all values and solving for T:

30N - T = 3.06kg\frac{T}{1.02kg} \\30N - T = 3T\\30N=3T + T\\30N = 4T\\\frac{30N}{4} =T = 7.5N

Therefore, the tension in the string has a force of 7.5N, which is less than 30N.

Among the options we have:

  • T=10N
  • T=20N
  • T<30N
  • T>30N

frutty [35]

Answer:

14 seconds

Explanation:

Distance covered by sports car is measured with 21*t where t is time.

Distance covered by police is measured with at^2/2(t-time, a-acceleration) as it doesnt have starting velocity. If the distances are equal(police catches sport car)

then we have 21t=3/2*t^2 Solving this equation we get t=14 & t=0;

excluding the starting point we have 14 seconds

Fortunately, 'force' is a vector.  So if you know the strength and direction
of each force, you can easily addum up and find the 'resultant' (net) force.

When we talk in vectors, one newton forward is the negative of
one newton backward.   Hold that thought, while I slog through
the complete solution of the problem.


            (100 N forward) plus (50 N backward)

        =  (100 N forward) minus (50 N forward)

        =           50 N forward .

That's it.
Is there any part of the solution that's not clear ?
