Answer:

T1 = 490.5 [N], T2 = 490.5[N]

Explanation:

First, we must draw a free body diagram of the steel ball hanging and the two wires holding it as well as the angle forming the wires between them.

The free-body diagram can be seen in the attached image.

As the cables are symmetrical with respect to the vertical axis, the force in cables 1 and 2 is equal, so when performing a force sum equal to zero on the Y-axis, we can find the force value of any cable.

The solution of the equations can be seen in the attached image

A 0.0780 kg lemming runs off a 5.36 m high cliff at 4.84 m/s. what is its potential energy (PE) when it is 2.00 m above the grou

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

1.5288 J

Explanation:

We can use the Energy conversion law

Energy can not be made or destroyed. It can only be converted to another form of energy

Potential Energy (PE) is the energy an object has due to its height of the location

<em>PE = mass * gravitational acceleration * height from the ground</em>

Simply here , lemming had a PE and KE also.

(g = 9.8 m/s²)

PE = 0.0780 * 9.8 *2

= 1.5288 J

How is it possible to get three precise but inaccurate measurements of the same volume of water

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

The inaccurate measurements must be similar to the other two measurements (ex; 590, 589, 599), but different from the actual volume of water. (Ex; the actual volume is let say.. 100, but you measured 50, 49, 40)
