Hi there!

To calculate the tension, we must calculate the acceleration of the system.
Begin with a summation of forces:
∑F = -M₁gsinФ + T - T + M₂g
Simplify and solve for acceleration: (Tensions cancel out)

Plug in values. Let g = 10 m/s²

Now, to find tension, let's sum up the forces acting on ONE block. For simplicity, we can look at the hanging block:
∑F = -T + W
ma = -T + W
Rearrange to solve for T:
T = W - ma
We know the acceleration, so plug in the values:
T = (8)(10) - (8)(5.91) = 32.73 N
Global human population growth is around 75 million annually, or 1.1% per year. The global population has grown from 1 billion in 1800 to 7 billion in 2012. Globally, the growth rate of the human population has been declining since 1962 and 1963, when it was 2.20% per annum. In 2009, the estimated annual growth rate was 1.1%. The CIA World Factbook gives the world annual birthrate, mortality rate, and growth rate as 1.89%, 0.79%, and 1.096% respectively. The last 100 years have seen a rapid increase in population due to medical advances and massive increase in agricultural productivity.
False because absolute magnitude is the real magnitude but apparent is not
