The tensions in the wires at the given angle of inclination is determined as 434.1 N.

<h3>Tension on the wire</h3>

The tension in the wires is calculated as follows;

T = Wsinθ

where;

  • T is tension in each wire
  • W is weight of the traffic light

T = 2500 x sin(10)

T = 434.1 N

Thus, the tensions in the wires at the given angle of inclination is determined as 434.1 N.

sergeinik [125]
The objects have different densities
They objects may possess the same volume; however, due to a difference in density, they do not possess the same mass within that volume. This means that they experience a different gravitational force, which causes one to sink and the other to float.

A 600-N box is pushed up a ramp that is 2 meters high and 5 meters long. The person exerts a force of 300-N. What is the efficie
AfilCa [17]
From information given, there are two forces in action, the vertical and the horizontal. We first need to calculate separately work done by these two forces, then determine the efficiency. Work = Force × distance work(a) → 600N × 2m = 1,200 Nm work(b) → 300N × 5m = 1,500 Nm Efficiency = work(a) / work (b) × 100 Efficiency = 1200 / 1500 × 100 Efficiency = 0.8 × 100 Efficiency = 80% Therefore the efficiency of the ramp is 80%
