If four vertical cables are holding up a rectangular, 100- Newton sign, how much tension is on each cable?

Physics

We may balance the forces in order to calculate the tension.
We know that there are no horizontal forces being applied. Next, the vertical forces are:
Weight (W) which is acting downwards
Tension in each wire (T) which is acting upwards
Because the sign is stationary, the downward force must equal the upward force. So we may write:
Weight = 4 * tension
W = 4T

100 = 4T
T = 25 N

The tension in each wire is 25 Newtons

Liquefication occurs when
alexandr402 [8]

Answer: Liquefaction occurs when the structure of a loose, saturated sand breaks down due to some rapidly applied loading.

As the structure breaks down, the loosely-packed individual soil particles attempt to move into a denser configuration. Liquefaction most often occurs when three conditions are met:

loose, granular sediment or fill

saturation by groundwater

strong shaking

Is it possible for an object with a constant speed to accelerating?
FromTheMoon [43]
Yes. A roulette ball circulating in a spinning wheel, a car going around a curved
road at 30 mph, and a planet in a circular orbit are all being accelerated.

"Acceleration" does NOT mean "speeding up".  It means any change in the
speed or DIRECTION of motion.
