The locks referred to here are the elevators that are used to transport boats safely from one water level to another in dams. These two varying water depths allow river traffic to operate  The attached picture shows how boats enter locks in dam sites.

To regulate traffic, there are traffic lights that signal boatmen to adjust their speed when approaching the lock. The red light means to stop and to steer clear away from the lock to allows the boats inside to exit. The green light signals to enter the lock. Lastly, the amber light means approach the lock at a safe speed and under full control.

A 30.0 kg box hangs from a rope. What is the tension (in N) in the rope if the box has an initial velocity of 2.0 m/s and is slo
hjlf

Answer:

360 N

Explanation:

m = 30kg    u = 2 m/s     a = -2m/s/s

Since the object has an initial velocity of 2 m/s and acceleration of -2 m/s/s

the object will come to rest in 1 second but the force applied in that one second can be calculated by:

F = ma

F = 30 * -2

F = -60 N (the negative sign tells us that the force is acting downwards)

Now, calculating the force applied on the box due to gravity

letting g = -10m/s/s

F = ma

F = 30 * -10

F = -300 N (the negative sign tells us that the force is acting downwards)

Now, calculating the total downward force:

-300 + (-60) = -360 N

<em></em>

<em>Hence, a downward force of 360 N is being applied on the box and since the box did not disconnect from the rope, the rope applied the same amount of force in the opposite direction</em>

Therefore tension on the force = <u>360 N</u>
