Answer:
T=7.4 N hence T<30 N
Explanation:
The figure is likely to be similar to the one attached. Writing the equation for forces we have
F-T=Fa/g where F is the force, T is tension, a is acceleration and g is acceleration due to gravity. Substituting the figures we have the first equation as
30 N - T = (30/9.81)a
Also, we know that T=F*a/g and substituting 10N for F we obtain the second equation as
T = (10/9.81)a
Adding the first and second equations we obtain
30 = 4.077471967
a Hence
and T=a hence
T is approximately 7.4 N
Answer: magnitude of applied force is FA = mg + F
Where F is the resultant force downward that the rope moves with
Explanation:
Force downwards F is,
F = FA - T
T is the upwards tension force on the rope
FA is the actual applied force in pulling the rope down.
Therefore, T = FA - F .....equ. (1)
For the box to move up with force ma ( it's mass times its acceleration upwards) upwards tension on the roap must exceed its own weight mg ( it's mass times acceleration due to gravity 9.8m/s^2)
Therefore, ma = T - mg
T = ma + mg ..... equ. (2)
Equating equ. 1 and 2
T = FA - F = ma + mg
Therefore FA = ma + mg + F
But at constant velocity a = 0
Magnitude of applied force becomes
FA = mg + F
