<span>An object suspended from its own center will not have any motion or rotation unless acted on by an outside force. In the question the idea of a massless string is introduced. The mass of the string is pointless. In this trivial example the weight w did not need to be defined as "w" as there is only one object considered.</span>

I attached a picture of the diagram associated with this question.

Now,
When we check the vertical components of the tension in the rope, we will find that we have two equal components acting upwards.
These two components support the weight and each of them has a value of TcosΘ

The net force acting on the body is zero.
Fnet=Force of tension acting upwards-Force due to weight acting downwards
0 = 2TcosΘ -W
W = 2TcosΘ
T = W / 2cosΘ

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

$4 Fe + 3 O_2 \rightarrow 2 Fe_2 O_3$

Explanation:

The original equation is:

$Fe + O_2 \rightarrow Fe_2 O_3$

We notice that:

- we have 1 atom of Fe on the left, and 2 atoms of Fe on the right

- we have 2 atoms of O on the left, and 3 atoms of O on the right

Therefore, the equation is not balanced.

In order to balance it, we can add:

- a coefficient 3 in front of $O_2$

- a coefficient 2 in front of $Fe_2 O_3$

So we have:

$Fe + 3 O_2 \rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3$

Now the oxygen is balanced, but the iron it not balanced yet, since we have 1 Fe on the left and 4 on the right. Therefore, we should add a coefficient 4 on the Fe on the left:

$4 Fe + 3 O_2 \rightarrow 2 Fe_2 O_3$

Answer:

0.5639m

Explanation:

For a young double slit experiment the expression below gives the angular separation for m dark fringe having slit width d and wavelength λ

=sin⁻¹(mλ/d)

mλ /d =y/L

for the first order,

y= mλL/d

For ratio separation y₀/yD=1 and d= 1

y₀/yD= [mλ ₀L₀/d]/[mλD.LD./d]

1=λ ₀L₀/λD.LD.

λD.LD= λ ₀L₀

L₀= λD.LD/ λ ₀..............(1)

Then substitute the given values into (1) we have

L₀=471 *0.497/611

= 0.3831m

Distance by which the screen has to be moved towards the slit is

0.947-0.3831= 0.5639m
