-- First, we have to decide how to handle the two resistors.
The effective resistance of resistors in series is the sum
of their individual resistances. That is, they act like a single
resistor, whose resistance is the sum of all of them.
So in this question, the 4.0 ohms and the 7.5 ohms act like a
single resistor of 11.5 ohms.
-- The current in the circuit is
(the supply voltage) / (the total resistance)
= (9.0 volts) / (11.5 ohms)
= 0.783... Ampere (rounded)
The tension in the cable is 23.2 N
<h3>What is the tension in the string?</h3>
The tension in the cable can be resolved into horizontal and vertical forces Tcosθ and Tsinθ respectively.
Tcosθ, is acting perpendicularly, Tcosθ = 0
Taking moments about the pivot:
Tsinθ * 2.2 = 4 * 9.8 * 0.7
Solving for θ;
θ = tan⁻¹(1.4/2.2) = 32.5°
T = 27.44/(sin 32.5 * 2.2)
T = 23.2 N
In conclusion, the tension in the cable is determined by taking moments about the pivot.

The last one, nicotine from tobacco
There are two types of change in matter: physical change and chemical change. ... This is called the Law of Conservation of Matter. It states that matter can never be created or destroyed, only changed and rearranged.
