Answer:
Explanation:
Given that,
The frequency of vibration is 120Hz
The mass of object attached is 0.5kg.
We want to find the tension In the string
The tension in the string is the weight of the object, it is how much gravity is pulling the object to the centre of the earth
Using newton second law.
F_net = m•a_y
The body is not accelerating the y-direction, then, a_y = 0
F_net = 0
Force acting on the string is the weight of the object and the tension in the string
T - W = 0
T = W
Where weight is mass × gravity
W = mg
Then,
T = W = mg
T = mg = 0.5 × 9.81
T = 4.905 N
The tension in the string is 4.905 N
