(1 point) A horizontal clothesline is tied between 2 poles, 20 meters apart. When a mass of 5 kilograms is tied to the middle of

Answer:

Ft = 50.25 N

Explanation:

As you can see in the attached diagram, the angle θ is given by

tanθ = opp/adj

The opposite is the sag of distance 2 m and the adjacent is the half of the horizontal clothesline that is 20 m.

tanθ = 2/10

θ = tan⁻¹(2/10)

θ = 11.30°

There are two forces along the y axis, one is the F = mg acting downwards and the other is the Ftsinθ component of tension force in the string.

The sum of forces along y-axis is

5Ftsin(11.30) - mg = 0

Ft = mg/5sin(11.30)

Ft = 5*9.8/5sin(11.30)

Ft = 9.8/0.195

Ft = 50.25 N

Therefore, the magnitude of the tension on the ends of the clothesline is 50.25 N.

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

Explanation:

From he question we are told that

    The first mass is   m_1 = 0.42kg

      The second mass is  m_2 = 0.47kg

From the question we can see that at equilibrium the moment about the point where the  string  holding the bar (where m_1 \ and \ m_2 are hanged ) is attached is zero  

   Therefore we can say that

               m_1 * 15cm  = m_2 * xcm

Making x the subject of the formula  

                x = \frac{m_1 * 15}{m_2}

                    = \frac{0.42 * 15}{0.47}

                     x = 13.4 cm

Looking at the diagram we can see that the tension T  on the string holding the bar where m_1  \  and   \ m_2 are hanged  is as a result of the masses (m_1 + m_2)

     Also at equilibrium the moment about the point where the string holding the bar (where (m_1 +m_2)  and  m_3 are hanged ) is attached is  zero

   So basically

          (m_1 + m_2 ) * 20  = m_3 * 30

          (0.42 + 0.47)  * 20 = 30 * m_3

 Making m_3 subject

          m_3 = \frac{(0.42 + 0.47) * 20 }{30 }

                m_3 = 0.59 kg
