Consider the 65 N light fixture supported as in the figure. Find the tension in the supporting wires.
ASHA 777 [7]

By using Lami's theorem formula, the tension in the supporting wires is 48.6 Newtons

TENSION

  • Tension is also a force having Newton as S.I unit.
  • The tension in the wire will be the same.

This question can be solved by using either vector diagram or by using  Lami's theorem.

The sum of two given angles  = 42 + 42 = 84 degrees

The third angle = 180 - 84 = 96 degrees.

Below is the Lami's theorem formula

\frac{T}{sin\alpha } = \frac{T}{sin\beta } = \frac{W}{sinY}

Where

\alpha  = \beta = 42 + 90 = 132 degrees

Y = 96 degrees

W = 65 N

By using the formula, we have

\frac{T}{sin\alpha } =  \frac{W}{sinY}

T/sin 132 = 65/sin96

Cross multiply

T = 0.743 x 65.57

T = 48.56 N

Therefore, the tension in the supporting wires is 48.6 Newtons approximately.

A 1200 kg elevator accelerated upwards at 2 m/s2. Draw a force diagram for the elevator. Calculate the force of tension in the c
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

4800

Explanation:

You have to multiply the 1200 kg and the 2 m/s2. Then multiply the other 2 by the 2400 because it was the answer to the first part now after you multiply your answer is 4800.

Rutherford tracked the motion of tiny, positively charged particles shot through a thin sheet of gold foil. Some particles
Anna007 [38]

Question

Rutherford tracked the motion of tiny, positively charged particles shot through a thin sheet of gold foil. Some particles  travelled in a straight line and some were deflected at different angles.

Which statement best describes what Rutherford concluded from the motion of the particles?

A) Some particles travelled through empty spaces between atoms and some particles were deflected by electrons.

B) Some particles travelled through empty parts of the atom and some particles were deflected by electrons.

C) Some particles travelled through empty spaces between atoms and some particles were deflected by small areas of high-density positive charge in atoms.

D) Some particles travelled through empty parts of the atom and some particles were deflected by small areas of high-density positive charge in atoms.    

Answer:

 

The right answer is C)    

Explanation:

In the experiment described above, a piece of gold foil was hit with alpha particles, which have a positive charge. Alpha particles <em>α</em> were used because, if the nucleus was positive, then it would deflect the positive particles. The principles of physics posit that electric charges of the same orientation repel.  

So most as expected some of the alpha particles went right through meaning that the gold atoms comprised mostly empty space except the areas that were with a dense population of positive charges. This area became known as the "nucleus".  

Due to the presence of the positive charges in the nucleus, some particles had their paths bent at large angles others were deflected backwards.

Cheers!
