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.

What is the net torque on the square plate, with sides 0.2 m, from each of the three forces? F1=18 N, F2=26 N, and F3=14 N. Use
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

The net torque on the square plate is 2.72 N-m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Side = 0.2 m

Force F_{1}=18\ N

Force F_{2}=26\ N

Force F_{3}=14\ N

We need to calculate the torque due to force F₁

Using formula of torque

\tau_{1}=-F_{1}d_{1}

\tau_{1}=-F_{1}\times\dfrac{a}{2}

Put the value into the formula

\tau_{1}=-18\times\dfrac{0.2}{2}

\tau_{1}=-1.8\ N-m

We need to calculate the torque due to force F₂

Using formula of torque

\tau_{2}=F_{2}d_{2}

\tau_{2}=F_{2}\times\dfrac{a}{2}

Put the value into the formula

\tau_{2}=26\times\dfrac{0.2}{2}

\tau_{2}=2.6\ N-m

We need to calculate the torque due to force F₃

Using formula of torque

\tau_{3}=F_{3}d_{3}

\tau_{3}=(F_{3}\sin45+F_{3}\cos45)\times\dfrac{a}{2}

Put the value into the formula

\tau_{3}=0.1(14\sin45+14\cos45)

\tau_{3}=1.92\ N-m

We need to calculate the net torque on the square plate

\tau=\tau_{1}+\tau_{2}+\tau_{3}

\tau=-1.8+2.6+1.92

\tau=2.72\ N-m

Hence, The net torque on the square plate is 2.72 N-m.

Scientists are making plans to put a probe in orbit around Earth. They want the probe to enter the orbit shown below.
iris [78.8K]

An arrow which shows the direction that the probe should be moving in order for it to enter the orbit is X.

<h3>What is an orbit?</h3>

An orbit can be defined as the curved path through which a astronomical (celestial) object such as planet Earth, in space move around a Moon, Sun, planet or star.

In this scenario, if the scientists want the probe to enter the orbit they should ensure that probe moves in direction X. This ultimately implies that, the probe must move in the same direction as the orbit, in order to enter it.

What is the meaning of diversity and find evidence in the source which show that all South Africans should accept and honour div
maksim [4K]

Diversity involves the inclusion of people which have various backgrounds and differences.

<h3>What is Diversity?</h3>

This involves people from a range of different social and ethnic backgrounds and of different genders, etc living in a given area at a given time.

It is best for all South Africans to accept and honour diversity as discrimination is wrong and individuals are unique and equal.
