Answer:
40N
Explanation:
Since both weights are connected to one string, you can say that the tensions above each are equal to each other.
If you do the sum of forces for the 4kg mass, then the tension comes out to 40N (if we take gravity to be 10m/s²). But that seemed too good to be true, so I decided to do the work for the 7kg mass as well [which included finding the normal force (N) and plugging it into the sum of forces for the 7kg mass] to find that it also gives 40N as the answer.
If I were to put my process into steps:
- Write out the sum of Forces for both masses
- Set them equal to each other to find normal force (because this is the only unknown)
- Calculate and compare the two tensions to see if they are equal
*This all seems to line up perfectly, but do let me know if my answer doesn't match up with what you might find to he the answer later on.

Explanation:
<u>Electric Circuits</u>
Suppose we have a resistive-only electric circuit. The relation between the current I and the voltage V in a resistance R is given by the Ohm's law:

(a) The electromagnetic force of the battery is
and its internal resistance is
. Knowing the equivalent resistance of the headlights is
, we can compute the current of the circuit by using the Kirchhoffs Voltage Law or KVL:

Solving for i

i=2.28\ A
The potential difference across the headlight bulbs is


(b) If the starter motor is operated, taking an additional 35 Amp from the battery, then the total load current is 2.28 A + 35 A = 37.28 A. Thus the output voltage of the battery, that is the voltage that the bulbs have is

Answer: R=24.2Ω
Explanation: <u>Power</u> is rate of work being done in an electric circuit. It relates to voltage, current and resistance through the following formulas:
P=V.i
P=R.i²

The resistance of the system is:



R = 24.2Ω
<u>For the device, resistance is 24.2Ω.</u>
