The tension in the cable that pulls the elevator upwards with an acceleration of 2.0 m/s² is 4200 N. The right option is A) 4200 N.

<h3 /><h3>What is tension?</h3>

Tension is defined as the force transmitted through a rope, string or wire when pulled by forces acting from opposite sides.

To calculate the tension in the cable, we use the formula below.

Formula:

  • T = mg+ma............ Equation 1

Where:

  • T = Tension in the cable
  • m = Mass of the Joey and the elevator
  • a = Acceleration
  • g = Acceleration due to gravity

From the question,

Given:

  • m = (300+60) = 360 kg
  • a = 2 m/s²
  • g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 2

  • T = (360×9.8)+(360×2)
  • T = 3528+720
  • T = 4248 N
  • T ≈ 4200 to the nearest hundred.

Hence,  the tension in the rope is 4200 N, the right option is A) 4200 N.

In this image of Earth and the Moon from the Sim, what does the circle around Earth represent?
lidiya [134]

Answer: This is the orbit (of the moon around Earth).

An orbit is a circular/oval path that planets, moons, comets, etc follow with a "subject" in the middle. In this case, the circle is the orbit of the moon around Earth.

A uniform horizontal beam 4.0 m long and weighing 200 N is attached to the wall by a pin connection that allows the beam to rota
wariber [46]

Answer:

The magnitude of the tension in the cable, T is 1,064.315 N

Explanation:

Here we have

Length of beam = 4.0 m

Weight = 200 N

Center of mass of uniform beam = mid-span = 2.0 m

Point of attachment of cable = Beam end = 4.0 m

Angle of cable = 53° with the horizontal

Tension in cable = T

Point at which person stands = 1.50 m from wall

Weight of person = 350 N

Therefore,

Taking moment about the wall, we have

∑Clockwise moments = ∑Anticlockwise moments

T×sin(53) = 350×1.5 + 200×2

T = 850/sin(53)  = ‭1,064.315 N.
