When an object of weight w is suspended from the center of a massless string?

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.

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

What is the relationship between frequency ad wavelenght

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

Frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional to each other. The wave with the greatest frequency has the shortest wavelength. Twice the frequency means one-half the wavelength. For this reason, the wavelength ratio is the inverse of the frequency ratio.

Answer:

$\Delta T=3.615^{\circ}C$ is the drop in the water temperature.

Explanation:

Given:

mass of ice, $m_i=14.7\ g=0.0147\ kg$

mass of water, $m_w=324\ g=0.324\ kg$

Assuming the initial temperature of the ice to be 0° C.

Apply the conservation of energy:

Heat absorbed by the ice for melting is equal to the heat lost from water to melt ice.

Now from the heat equation:

$Q_i=Q_w$

$m_i.L=m_w.c_w.\Delta T$ ......................(1)

where:

$L=$ latent heat of fusion of ice $=333.55\ J.g^{-1}$

$c_w=$ specific heat of water $=4.186\ J.g^{-1}.^{\circ}C^{-1}$

$\Delta T=$ change in temperature

Putting values in eq. (1):

$14.7 \times 333.55=324\times 4.186\times \Delta T$

$\Delta T=3.615^{\circ}C$ is the drop in the water temperature.

A circular loop of wire with a radius of 20 cm lies in the xy plane and carries a current of 2 A, counterclockwise when viewed f

Zina [86]

To solve this problem we will apply the concept related to the magnetic dipole moment that is defined as the product between the current and the object area. In our case we have the radius so we will get the area, which would be

$A=\pi r^2$
