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

eta2=40.0 degrees with the horizontal. Assuming the system is in equilibrium, find the tensions of T1, T2, and T3.

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

Why would you expect the speed of light to be slightly less in the atmosphere then in a vacuum?
azamat

The speed of light to be slightly less in atmosphere then in vacuum because of absorption and re-emission of light by the atmospheric molecules occurred when light travels through a material

<u>Explanation:</u>

When light passes through atmosphere, it interacts or transmits through the transparent molecules in atmosphere. In this process of transmission through atmosphere, the light will be getting absorbed by them and some will get re-emitted or refracted depending upon wavelength.

But in vacuum the absence of any kind of particles will lead to no interaction and no energy loss, thus the speed of the light will be same in vacuum while due to interactions with molecules of atmosphere, there speed will be slightly less compared to in vacuum.

Which of the following is true about Viscosity of liquids:
White raven [17]
Viscosity of liquids is essentially the 'thickness' of the liquid. For instance, honey and water have different viscosities. Honey has a higher one and therefore, liquids with high viscosity do not flow as well as liquids with low viscosity (water).

Answer:

2 m/s^2, west

Explanation:

Vf=final velcoity

Vi=initial velocity

t=timw

a =  \frac{vf - vi}{t}

=

\frac{15 - 25}{5}

= - 2 m/s^2

The - changes direction and makes it opposite

2 m/s, west
