Figure 3 shows a stationary metal block hanging from the middle of a stretched wire which is suspended from a horizontal beam. T
he tension in each half of the wire is 15 N. (a) Calculate for the wire at A, (i) the resultant horizontal component of the tension forces, (ii) the resultant vertical component of the tension forces. Can someone explain why the first one is 0?
1 answer:
Explanation:
(i) The horizontal component of the tension in the right wire points right, and the horizontal component of the tension in the left wire points left. Since these components are equal and opposite, the resultant horizontal force is 0.
∑Fₓ = 15 N cos 20° − 15 N cos 20°
∑Fₓ = 0 N
(ii) ∑Fᵧ = 15 N sin 20° + 15 N sin 20°
∑Fᵧ = 10.26 N

Answer:
is time required to heat to boiling point form initial temperature.
Explanation:
Given:
initial temperature of water,
time taken to vapourize half a liter of water,
desity of water,
So, the givne mass of water,
enthalpy of vaporization of water,
specific heat of water,
Amount of heat required to raise the temperature of given water mass to 100°C:
Now the amount of heat required to vaporize 0.5 kg of water:
where:
mass of water vaporized due to boiling
Now the power rating of the boiler:
Now the time required to heat to boiling point form initial temperature:
