Answer:

The tension force has a magnitude of 490 N, and acts vertically upward

Explanation:

The complete question is:

A 50kg chandelier hangs from a ceiling suspended by a cable. What is the Tension (magnitude and direction of the force) in the cable?

ANS:

Tension is the force applied axially by rope, chain, cable, rod, etc, as a reaction force. The direction of tension is always towards the support. Since, the support here, is ceiling.

Therefore, the direction of tension force will be vertically upward.

Since the chandelier is hanging stationary, without any motion. Thus, there must not be any unbalanced force applied on it.

Hence, the tension force must be equal to the weight of chandelier.

Tension Force = Weight of Chandelier

T = W = mg

T = (50 kg)(9.8 m/s²)

T = 490 N

Thus, the tension force has a magnitude of 490 N, and acts vertically upward

As SCUBA divers go deeper underwater, the pressure from the weight of all the water above them increases tremendously which comp

faltersainse [42]

Answer: The volume of gas expands because of the decrease in pressure as he tries to exit the water body, therefore he must take necessary precaution.

Explanation:

Using Boyle's law which states that the the pressure of a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its volume at a constant temperature

ie P1VI=P2V2

A diver absorbs compressed nitrogen gas when he dives into the water body, As he ascends out of the water body having less pressure, the volume of nitrogen gas which he absorbs will tend to expand following Boyle's Law. Therefore a scuba driver should not rises quickly but slowly to the surface or else the expanding nitrogen gas can cause tiny bubbles in his blood and tissue to form together with joints pains and eventually cause decompression sickness needing medical attention.

QUESTION 23

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

E = 3600 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Voltage, V = 115 V

Power of electric bulb, P = 60 W

We need to find the electric energy used in 1 minute. The electric energy use is given by :

$E=P\times t\\\\E=60\ W\times 60\ s\\\\E = 3600\ J$

Hence, the electrical energy is 3600 J.

Vikki [24]

Answer:

2697.75N/m

Explanation:

Step one

This problem bothers on energy stored in a spring.

Step two

Given data

Compression x= 2cm

To meter = 2/100= 0.02m

Mass m= 0.01kg

Height h= 5.5m

K=?

Let us assume g= 9.81m/s²

Step three

According to the principle of conservation of energy

We know that the the energy stored in a spring is

E= 1/2kx²

1/2kx²= mgh

Making k subject of formula we have

kx²= 2mgh

k= 2mgh/x²

k= (2*0.01*9.81*5.5)/0.02²

k= 1.0791/0.0004

k= 2697.75N/m

Hence the spring constant k is 2697.75N/m
