a 10kg flowerpot is suspended from the end of a horizontal strut by a cable attached at 30° above the horizontal. If the strut h
as no mass what is tension in the cable
1 answer:
T = tension force in the cable
m = mass of the flowerpot = 10 kg
θ = angle cable makes with the horizontal = 30 deg
there are horizontal and vertical components of tension force . The vertical component of tension force in cable is in opposite direction of the weight of the flowerpot. hence vertical component of tension balances the weight of flowerpot. so we can write
T Sinθ = mg
inserting the above value
T Sin30 = 10 x 9.8
T(0.5) = 98
T = 98/0.5
T = 196 N

Answer: Gamma rays
Explanation: The given waves belong to the electromagnetic spectrum which consists of different electromagnetic radiations arranged in terms of increasing wavelengths or decreasing frequencies.
Thus
E= energy
= frequency
c = speed of light
= wavelength
Thus frequency and wavelength are inversely related. The waves having high energies ave high frequencies and have shorter wavelengths.
Thus gamma rays having highest energy have highest frequency and shortest wavelength.
