Answer:

The tension is  T =  103.96N

Explanation:

The free body diagram of the question is shown on the first uploaded image From the question we are told that

           The distance between the two poles is D =14 m

          The mass tied between the two cloth line is  m = 3Kg

         The distance it sags is d_s = 1m

The objective of this solution is to obtain the magnitude of the tension on the ends of the  clothesline

Now the sum of the forces on the y-axis is zero assuming  that the whole system is at equilibrium

       And this can be mathematically represented as

                             \sum F_y = 0

 To obtain \theta we apply SOHCAHTOH Rule

 So    Tan \theta = \frac{opp}{adj}

          \theta = tan^{-1} [\frac{opp}{adj} ]

            = tan^{-1} [\frac{1}{7}]

          =8.130^o

=>  \  \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 2T sin\theta -mg =0

=>  \  \ \ \ \ \ \ \ T =\frac{mg}{2 sin\theta}

=>  \  \ \ \ \ \ \ \ T = \frac{3 * 9.8 }{2 sin \theta }

=>  \  \ \ \ \ \ \ \  T =\frac{29.4}{2sin(8.130)}

=>  \  \ \ \ \ \ \ \  T = 103.96N

Answer:

T = 104N

Explanation:

We are to calculate the magnitude of the tension on the ends of the clothesline and to solve this, we need to draw a free body diagram to make it clearer.

Thus, i have attached the free body diagram.

Now, from the diagram, the angle made by the rope with the pole is given as α.

Now, we see that the rope sags by 1m. Since the weight is at midpoint, the point from the centre to the pole is 14/2 = 7m

Thus,using formula for finding angles in a right angle triangle, we have;

Tan α = opposite/adjacent = 1/7 =0.1429

Thus, α = tan^(-1)0.1429 = 8.133°

Now, to find the tension on the ends of the cloth line, we have to resolve the forces vertically.

Thus, still using the formula for finding angles in a right angle triangle, we have;

T sinα + T sinα = mg

i.e sum of upward forces = sum of dowward forces.

Thus,

2T(sin 8.133°) = 3 x 9.81

T(2 x 0.1415) = 29.43

T = 29.43/0.283 = 104 N

forsale [732]
We need to consider no change in the temperature of gas (isothermal transformation)

Volume and pressure are inversely proportional magnitudes, so we can write:

P_1.V_1=P_2.V_2\\
\\
9.20=5.V_2\\

An object is thrown upward with some velocity. If the object rises 77.5 m above the point of release, (a) how fast was the objec
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

v_o=39\ m/s\\t_m=4\ s

Explanation:

<u>Vertical Launch Upwards</u>

In a vertical launch upwards, an object is launched vertically up from a height H without taking into consideration any kind of friction with the air.

If vo is the initial speed and g is the acceleration of gravity, the maximum height reached by the object is given by:

\displaystyle h_m=H+\frac{v_o^2}{2g}

The object referred to in the question is thrown from a height H=0 and the maximum height is hm=77.5 m.

(a)

To find the initial speed we solve for vo:

\displaystyle v_o=\sqrt{2gh_m}

v_o=\sqrt{2\cdot 9.8\cdot 77.5}

v_o=39\ m/s

(b)

The maximum time or the time taken by the object to reach its highest  point is calculated as follows:

\displaystyle t_m=\frac{v_o}{g}

\displaystyle t_m=\frac{39}{9.8}

t_m=4\ s
