<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

The inner planets formed:

Ivan

Answer:

a. by collisions and mergers of planetesimals.

Explanation:

Inner planets are planets within 1.5 AU distance from the sun. These are called terrestrial planets because they are somewhat similar to Earth, mainly made of rocks.

The main ingredient of these planets are solar nebula and interstellar dust condensation of which leads to formation of small rock particles. These particles come close to each other under in the influence of gravity and other forces. As the mass of the particles increase they form planetesimals, these planetesimals eventually merge to form planets.

What are the phenomena that physics is applied in?

Ratling [72]

Answer:

For empiricists like van Fraassen, the phenomena of physics are the appearances observed or perceived by sensory experience. Constructivists, however, regard the phenomena of physics as artificial structures generated by experimental and mathematical methods.

Why cooking pots are provided with wooden or plastic handles

Lelechka [254]

Metal cooking pots and pans often have wooden handles. Wood has a higher specific heat than metal, so it takes more energy to heat a wooden handle than a metal handle. As a result, a wooden handle would heat up more slowly and be less likely to burn your hand when you touch it.
