Explanation:
For equilibrium, .
So, = 0
=
= 705.6 N
Also, for equilibrium = 0
= 0
or,
=
= 176.4 N
Thus, we can conclude that the tension in the first rope is 176.4 N.
The range of the piece of paper is C) 1.4 m
Explanation:
The motion of the piece of paper is the motion of a projectile, which consists of two separate motions:
- A uniform motion along the horizontal direction, with constant velocity
- A uniformly accelerated motion along the vertical direction, with constant acceleration (the acceleration of gravity, )
From the equation of motion, it is possible to find an expression for the range (the total horizontal distance covered) of a projectile, which is given by:
where
u is the initial velocity
is the angle of projection
g is the acceleration of gravity
For the piece of paper in this problem,
u = 4.3 m/s
Substituting,
