An object with a mass of m = 122 kg is suspended by a rope from the end of a uniform boom with a mass of M = 74.9 kg and a lengt

h of l = 8.77 m. The end of the boom is supported by another rope which is horizontal and attached to the wall as shown in the figure.
Calculate the tension in the horizontal rope. (The horizontal and the vertical ropes are not connected to each other. They are both independently attached to the end of the boom.)

The the tension in the horizontal rope is 7,019.4 N.

<h3>What is tension?</h3>

Tension is described as the pulling force transmitted axially by the means of a string, a cable, chain, or similar object, or by each end of a rod.

Tension can also be described as the action-reaction pair of forces acting at each end of said elements.

The unit of tension is Newton (same unit as force, since tension is also a force).

<h3>Tension in the horizontal rope</h3>

The tension in the horizontal rope is calculated as follows;

Apply the principle of torque;

T(L/2) cosθ = Mg (L/2) sinθ + mg L sinθ

T = (M + 2m)g sinθ/cosθ

T =  (M + 2m)g tanθ

<em>let θ = 66⁰ (this value should be given in the question)</em>

<em />

T =  (M + 2m)g tanθ

T = (74.9    +   2 x 122)(9.8)(tan 66)

T = 7,019.4 N

Thus, the the tension in the horizontal rope is 7,019.4 N.

Which of the following statements is accurate?
cupoosta [38]

Answer: A and B

Explanation:

A

The wavelength of both transverse and longitudinal waves is measured parallel to the direction of the travel of the wave.

Because wavelength is the distance between the two successful crest or trough.

B) 

Amplitude of longitudinal waves is measured at right angles to the direction of the travel of the wave and represents the maximum distance the molecule has moved from its normal position.

Because amplitude is the measure of maximum displacement from the original position

1. Which Law? When you are standing up in a subway train, and the train suddenly stops, your body continues to go forward.
riadik2000 [5.3K]

1. Law 1, since there is no other force acting on your body as you stand there, so you will continue to go forward.

2. Law 3, since the swimmer is using opposite forces to propel herself through the water. She generates a force by pushing the water which helps to push her forward.

3. Law 2, since you are giving the motorcycle more energy as a result of the gas being transformed into the energy that helps to accelerate the motorcycle's speed.

D.) How can you demonstrate the magnetic force? Write with an example
Lena [83]

Explanation:

d) Magnetic force is the power that pulls materials together (magnet e. g iron)

an example :how magnet can pick up a coin.

e) frictional force produces when two surfaces are in contact with each other.

effects of friction : I) it produces heat

II) it causes loss in power.
