Answer:

15√2 N.

Explanation:

Given that the mass of the wet clothes is, m=3kg

Here in the figure ABC the weight is hung from the middle then the sides AC and BC are equal will make their adjacent angle equal and the other angle which is ∠ACB will become 90°.

Now according the figure the tension is apply in two direction than by free body diagram we can solve newton equations.

2Tcos\theta=mg\\T=\frac{mg}{2cos\theta}\\ T=\frac{3\times10}{2cos(45^{\circ})}\\ T=15\sqrt{2}N

Therefore, the total tension upon the clothesline is, T=15\sqrt{2}N

Answer:

Tension in string equals 14.715 Newtons

Explanation:

The situation is represented in the figure attached below:

For equilibrium of the clothes along y- axis we have

\sum F_{v}=0\\\\\Rightarrow 2Tcos(\theta )=W\\\\\therefore T=\frac{W}{2cos(\theta )}

Applying values we get

\sum F_{v}=0\\\\\Rightarrow 2Tcos(\theta )=W\\\\\therefore T=\frac{3\times 9.81}{2\times 1}=14.715N(\because cos(\theta )=\frac{3}{3}=1)

The electricity received at an electrical substation has a potential difference of 20,000 V. What should the ratio of the turns
iren2701 [21]

The turn ratio of the transformer is 40.

<h3 />

<h3>What is a transformer?</h3>

A transformer is an electrical device that is used to step up or step down voltage.

The formula for calculating the turns ratio of a transformer is given below.

<h3> Formula</h3>
  • a = V/v.......... Equation 1

Where:

  • V = Primary voltage
  • v = Secondary voltage
  • a = Turns ratio of the transformer

From the question,

Given:

  • V = 20000 V
  • v = 500 v

Substitute the values above into equation 1

  • a = 20000/500
  • a = 40.

Hence, The turn ratio of the transformer is 40.
