<span>Distance is a scalar quantity that refers to "how much ground an object has covered" during its motion. Displacement is a vector quantity that refers to "how far out of place an object is"; it is the object's overall change in position.</span>

A uniform metal tube of length 5m and mass 9kg is suspended by two vertical wires attached at 50cm and 150cm respectively from t
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

force (tension) of 29.4 N (upward)  in 100 cm

force (tension) of 58.4 N (upward)  in 200 cm

Explanation:

Given:

Length of tube = 5 m (500 cm)

Mass of tube = 9

Suspended vertically from 150 cm and 50 cm.

Computation:

Force = Mass × gravity acceleration.

Force = 9.8 x 9

Force = 88.2 N

So,

Upward forces = Downward forces

D1 = 150 - 50 = 100 cm

D2 = 150 + 50 = 200 cm

And F1 = F2

F1 x D1 = F2 x D2

F1 x 100 = F2 x 200

F = 2F

Total force = Upward forces + Downward forces

3F = 88.2

F = 29.4 and 2F = 58.8 N

force (tension) of 29.4 N (upward)  in 100 cm

force (tension) of 58.4 N (upward)  in 200 cm
