How are tensional forces created?

1 answer:

6 0

Tensional forces are created on a piece of string or rope or anything similar when it is pulled tight from both sides, that is, when forces are acting on both ends, thus tightening it. <span>The tension force is directed along the length of the wire and pulls equally on the objects on the opposite ends of the wire.</span>

State newton's universal law of gravitation

Lorico [155]

Every particle of mass is attracted to every other particle of mass. The magnitude of the force between two objects is proportional to the product of their masses, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The direction of the force is along the line between their centers.

(NOTE: Newton's 3rd law of motion tells us that gravitational forces always come in pairs. Between two objects, there are two forces ... one in each direction. Their strengths are equal ... Your weight on Earth is exactly equal to the Earth's weight on YOU.)

A light spring of constant 179 N/m rests vertically on the bottom of a large beaker of water. A 5.32 kg block of wood of density

Digiron [165]

Answer:

Compression of the spring: 0.18 m (downward)

Explanation:

The forces acting on the block of wood are:

- The force of gravity, acting downward, of magnitude $mg$ , where m = 5.32 kg is the mass of the block and $g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration due to gravity

- The force exerted by the spring, downward, of magnitude $kx$ , where $k=179N/m$ is the spring constant and $x$ is the elongation of the spring

- The buoyant force, upward, of magnitude $\rho V g$ , where $\rho=1000 kg/m^3$ is the water density and V the volume of the block

Since the block is in equilibrium, the net force is zero, so we can write

$mg+kx-\rho V g=0$ (1)

We have to find the volume of the block first. We have:

m = 5.32 kg (mass)

$\rho_w = 622 kg/m^3$ (wood density)

So, the volume is

$V=\frac{m}{\rho_w}=\frac{5.32}{622}=0.0086 m^3$

So now we can re-arrange eq.(1) to find the elongation of the spring, x:

$x=\frac{-mg+\rho Vg}{k}=\frac{-(5.32)(9.8)+(1000)(0.0086)(9.8)}{179}=0.18 m$

So, the spring is compressed by 0.18 m.
