Find the tension in the two ropes that are holding the 4.2 kg object in place.
1 answer:
Answer:
The tension in the two ropes are;
T1 = 23.37N T2 = 35.47N
Explanation:
Given mass of the object to be 4.2kg, the weight acting on the bag will be W= mass × acceleration due to gravity
W = 4.2×10 = 42N
The tension acting on the bag plus the weight are three forces acting on the bag. We need to find tension in the two ropes that will keep the object in equilibrium.
Using triangular law of force and sine rule to get the tension we have;
If rope 1 is at 57.6° with respect to the vertical and rope 2 is at 33.8° with respect to the vertical, our sine rule formula will give;
T1/sin33.8° = T2/sin57.6° = 42/sin{180-(33.8°+57.6°)}
T1/sin33.8° = T2/sin57.6° = 42/sin88.6°
From the equality;
T1/sin33.8° = 42/sin88.6°
T1 = sin33.8°×42/sin88.6°
T1 = 23.37N
To get T2,
T2/sin57.6°= 42/sin88.6°
T2 = sin57.6°×42/sin88.6°
T2 = 35.47N

Answer:
Explanation:
<u>Instant Acceleration</u>
The kinetic magnitudes are usually related as scalar or vector equations. By doing so, we are assuming the acceleration is constant over time. But when the acceleration is variable, the relations are in the form of calculus equations, specifically using derivatives and/or integrals.
Let f(t) be the distance traveled by an object as a function of the time t. The instant speed v(t) is defined as:
And the acceleration is
Or equivalently
The given height of a projectile is
Let's compute the speed
And the acceleration
It's a constant value regardless of the time t, thus
