? A body is suspended from the ceiling with two wires that make an angle of 40° with the ceiling. The weight of the body is 150N

. What is the tension in each wire?
Physics

So, the weight is supported by the tension in the two wires, but only part of the tension goes in holding the body: the vertical component.

If the angle between the ceiling and the wire is 40 deg, then the vertical component is

T_y = T * sin(40),

There are two wires, so together they do

2*T*sin(40)

And all this holds the weight of the body, so:

2*T*sin(40)=150 ----> T = 75/sin(40)~116.68 N,

Notice how it is larger than 150N (both wires is ~ 233 N), as the angle becomes smaller, there is less tension that is vertical, so one needs more tension to make the vertical component as large as (half) the weight of the body

Hope it helps!

The number of mushrooms needed by a pizza restaurant is given by the
kupik [55]

Answer: 24

Explanation:

Given the following equation:

g=3n

Where g is the number of mushrooms in a pizza and n the number of pizzas.

If we know the restaurant will make 8 pizzas (n=8), then:

g=3(8)

g=24 This is the needed number of mushrooms for 8 pizzas

On which date is the gravitational force between Earth and the moon the greatest?
Genrish500 [490]

The gravitational forces between the Earth and Moon are greatest when the two bodies are closest together. That happens every 27.32 days, when the Moon is at the perigee of its orbit.

Even if this happened at the same time in every orbit, the date would change, because there are not 27.32 days in a month.

But it doesn't happen at the same time in every orbit ... the Moon's perigee precesses around its orbit, on account of the gravitational forces toward the Earth, the Sun, Venus, Mars, and the other planets.

Why is pluto not a planet?
mihalych1998 [28]
Pluto revolves around a star instead of our SUN. So, it's an "Exo-planet" rather than a Planet. It has declared in 2006 by the scientists.

A 4 kg bowling bowl is sitting on a table 1 meter off the ground. How much potential energy does it have?
il63 [147K]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{\sf P.E. = 39.2\ Joules}

Explanation:

<u>Given Data:</u>

Mass = m = 4 kg

Acceleration due to gravity = g = 9.8 m/s²

Height = h = 1 m

<u>Required:</u>

Potential Energy = P.E. = ?

<u>Formula:</u>

P.E. = mgh

<u>Solution:</u>

P.E. = (4)(9.8)(1)

P.E. = 39.2 Joules

\rule[225]{225}{2}

Hope this helped!
