A bag of cement weighing 325 N hangs in equilibrium from three wires. Two of the wires make angles of theta1=60.0 degrees and th

The sketch of the system is: two strings, 1 and 2, are attached to the ceiling and to a third string, 3.The third string holds the bag of cement. 

The free body diagram of the weight with the string 3, drives to the tension T3 = weihgt => T3 = 325 N

The other free body diagram is around the joint of the three strings.

In this case, you can do the horizontal forces equilibrium equation as:

T1* cos(60) - T2*cos(40) = 0

And the vertical forces equilibrium equation:

Ti sin(60) + T2 sin(40) = T3 = 325 N

Then you have two equations with two unknown variables, T1 and T2

0.5 T1 - 0.766 T2 = 0

 0.866 T1 + 0.643T2 = 325

When you solve it you get, T1 = 252.8 N and T2 = 165 N

Answer: T1 = 252.8 N, T2 = 165N, and T3 = 325N

3. If you put flowers in water through what process does the water enter the steams ?
worty [1.4K]

Water travels through long, thin tubes running up from the roots through the stems and leaves called xylem.Water moves up the xylem through a process called capillary action.

Capillary action allows water to be pulled through the thin tubes because the molecules of the water are attracted to the molecules that make up the tube. The water molecules at the top are pulled up the tube and the water molecules below them are pulled along because of their attraction to the water molecules above them.
