GFCI outlets are found in wet areas is the true statement about a GFCI oulet

Answer: Option D.

<u>Explanation: </u>

GFCI stands for Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter and also named as RCD (Residual Current Device). This is a kind of circuit breaker that cuts off electricity after detecting an imbalance between output and input currents. The switch protects household lines and sockets against overheating and possible fire.

GFCI protects the people and is mostly used in bathrooms or kitchen where electrical equipment is used. Also, it is available where the human body can get into contact with the floor or metal fixings that provide an alternative route to power in the event of a fault. These outlets are available in two versions: the circuit breaker installed in the control panel and receptacle type installed into the electrical box.

How do I calculate the tension in the horizontal string?

matrenka [14]

ANSWER

T₂ = 10.19N

EXPLANATION

Given:

• The mass of the ball, m = 1.8kg

First, we draw the forces acting on the ball, adding the vertical and horizontal components of each one,

In this position, the ball is at rest, so, by Newton's second law of motion, for each direction we have,

$\begin{gathered} T_{1y}-F_g=0_{}_{}_{} \\ T_2-T_{1x}=0 \end{gathered}$

The components of the tension of the first string can be found considering that they form a right triangle, where the vector of the tension is the hypotenuse,
