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.

find a magnitude of the force such that if the act at right angle there resultant is √10N but if the act of 50° the resultant is
Readme [11.4K]

Explanation:

Let magnitude of the two forces be x and y.

Resultant at right angle R1= √15N) and at

60 degrees be R2= √18N.

Now, R1 = √(x² + y²) = √15,

R2= √(x² + y² +2xycos50) = √18.

So x² + y² = 15,

and x² + y² + 1.29xy = 18,

therefore 1.29xy = 3,

y = 3/1.29x.

y = 2.33/x

Now, x2 + (2.33/x)2 = 15,

x² + 5.45/x² = 15

multiply through by x²

x⁴ + 5.45 = 15x²

x⁴ - 15x2 + 5.45 = 0

Now find the roots of the equation, and later y. The two values of x will correspond to the

magnitudes of the two vectors.

Good luck
