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)

Which is the result of mitosis and cytokinesis?
Leno4ka [110]
During cytokinesis, the cytoplasm of the cell is divided in half, and the cell membrane grows to enclose each cell, forming two separate cells as a result. The end result of mitosis and cytokinesis is two genetically identical cells where only one cell existed before.

In which of the following situations would convection currents most likely occur?
poizon [28]

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Convection is defined as a process in which a fluid (liquid or gas) is heated and the cooler liquid (more dense) settles or sinks at the bottom whereas a hotter material (less dense) will rises to the top.

For example, ice being less dense (cooler material) will float in a lake whereas liquid water being more dense will sink at the bottom.

Thus, we can conclude that situation in which convection currents most likely occur is within the water in a lake as ice forms on the top.
