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)

Is the wavelength comparable to the size of atoms?
Helen [10]

It totally depends on what kind of wave you're talking about.

-- a sound wave from a trumpet or clarinet playing a concert-A pitch is about 78 centimeters long ... about 2 and 1/2 feet.  This is bigger than atoms.

-- a radio wave from an AM station broadcasting on 550 KHz, at the bottom of your radio dial, is about 166 feet long ... maybe comparable to the height of a 10-to-15-story building.  This is bigger than atoms.

-- a radio wave heating the leftover meatloaf inside your "microwave" oven is about 4.8 inches long ... maybe comparable to the length of your middle finger.  this is bigger than atoms.

-- a deep rich cherry red light wave ... the longest one your eye can see ... is around 750 nanometers long.  About 34,000 of them all lined up will cover an inch.  These are pretty small, but still bigger than atoms.

-- the shortest wave that would be called an "X-ray" is 0.01 nanometer long.     You'd have to line up 2.5 billion of <u>those</u> babies to cover an inch.  Hold on to these for a second ... there's one more kind of wave to mention.

-- This brings us to "gamma rays" ... our name for the shortest of all electromagnetic waves.  To be a gamma ray, it has to be shorter than 0.01 nanometer.

Talking very very very very roughly, atoms range in size from about 0.025 nanometers to about 0.26 nanometers.

The short end of the X-rays, and on down through the gamma rays, are in this neighborhood.

A freight train car has a mass of 2,000 kilograms and an acceleration of 1.8 m/s/s. ​What is the average force behind that train
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

F = 3600 [N]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law, which tells us that the sum of force must be equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

ΣF = m*a

where:

F = force [N]

m = mass = 2000 [kg]

a = acceleration = 1.8 [m/s^2]

Now replacing:

F = 2000*1.8

F = 3600 [N]
