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

Question: How is a triple beam balance used to find mass?1. Observe: The riders have masses of 10 grams (top), 100 grams (middle

ozzi

Answer:

1) For the weight to be correct, the pointer must be below the reference (zero) or in it

2) mass greater than 300 g leave the pointer below the reference,

3) put weight on the other arms the pointer gets closer to the reference

Explanation:

1) A three-arm scale is used to determine the weight of a body by successive approximations, starting with the arm with the greatest mass (middle), when the pointer is close to zero without going over, weights are placed on the second arm (above ) weight is placed to bring the pointer closer to the reference without going over and when it is used the arm with the lowest mass is used (below) with this one, masses are placed until reaching the reference,

Taking all the jinetillos placed the total weight, the product of the position of the jinetillo by the precision of the arm and then the three values are added.

In the example given, the jinetillo is placed in position 3 of the 100 arm, so the weight is 300 gr.

For the weight to be correct, the pointer must be below the reference (zero) or in it

2) objects with a mass greater than 300 g leave the pointer below the reference, it must be completed with the other two arms to reach the correct weight

3) when you put weight on the other arms the pointer gets closer to the reference

Select all that apply. Sound is a ____ wave. longitudinal transverse pressure circular

elena-s [515]

The following apply:
Sound is a LONGITUDINAL wave.
Sound is a PRESSURE wave.
Longitudinal waves are waves in which the displacement of the medium is in the same direction as or opposite direction to the direction of wave propagation. An example of longitudinal wave is sound wave. Sound wave is also considered as a pressure wave as the result of the presence of repeating patterns of high and low pressure regions moving through a medium.

A wheel with radius 0.487 m rotates 5.75 times every second. find the period of this motion.

marin [14]

Calculate the circumference of the circular path of the wheel by the equation,
C = 2πr
where C is the circumference,
r is the radius

Substituting the known values,
C = 2(π)(0.487 m) = 3.06 m

Then, period of the motion will be determined by dividing the number of rotations done,

T = (3.06 m) / (5.75 /s) = 0.53 s

ANSWER: 0.53 s

Find the freqency of a wave with a period of 0.5 seconds

never [62]

Answer: Frequency refers to the number of occurrences of a periodic event per time and is measured in cycles/second. In this case, there is 1 cycle per 2 seconds. So the frequency is 1 cycles/2 s = 0.5 Hz.
