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 <u>vertically upward</u><u>.</u>

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)

<u>T =   490 N</u>

<u>Thus, the tension force has a magnitude of 490 N, and acts vertically upward</u>

What is the mass of 3 m3 of a substance having density 1200 kg/m3​
adell [148]

Answer:

3600 kg

Explanation:

From the question,

Density = Mass/Volume

D = M/V.............................. Equation 1

Where D = Density of the substance, M = mass of the substance, V = Volume of the subtance.

Make M the subject of the equation

M = D×V ............................ Equation 2

Given: D = 1200 kg/m³, V = 3 m³.

Substitute these values into equation 2

M = 1200×3

M = 3600 kg.

Hence the mass of the substance is 3600 kg

A high jumper jumps 2.04 m. If the jumper has a mass of 67 kg, what is his gravitational potential energy at the highest point i
Mariulka [41]

Answer: 1339.5 joules

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy, GPE is the energy possessed by the jumper as he moves against gravity.

Thus, GPE = Mass m x Acceleration due to gravity g x Height h

Since Mass = 67kg

g = 9.8m/s^2

h = 2.04 metres

Thus, GPE = 67kg x 9.8m/s^2 x 2.04m

GPE = 1339.5 joules

Thus, the gravitational potential energy at the highest point is 1339.5 joules
