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?

The aid of a free-body diagram is essential for solving this mechanics problem. The summation of horizontal and vertical forces in the system must be equal to zero since the body is in equilibrium. 

Summation of x-forces:

T*cos(40)-T*cos(40) = 0

y forces:

2T*sin(40) - 150 = 0

T = 150/2*sin(40) = 100.66 N

Therefore, the tension in each wire would be 100.66 Newtons.

Rank the tensions in the ropes, t1, t2, and t3, from smallest to largest, when the boxes are in motion and there is no friction
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]
<span>AS T1,T2,T3 are the tensions in the ropes,assuming that there are Three blocks of mass 3m, 2m, and m.T3 is the string between 3m and 2m,T2 is the string between 2m and m ,T1 is the string attached to m thus T1 pulls the whole set of blocks along, so it must be the largest. T2 pulls the last two masses, but T3 only pulls the last mass, so T3 < T2 < T1.</span>

A race car accelerates from rest to a velocity of +90 m/s over a distance of 423m. Determine the acceleration of the race car.
dlinn [17]

Answer:

9.57m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity  = 0m/s

Final velocity  = 90m/s

Distance  = 423m

Unknown:

Acceleration of the race car  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we should apply one of the appropriate motion equations;

      V²  = U²   + 2as

Where V is the final velocity

           U is the initial velocity

           a is the acceleration

           s is the distance

  90²  = 0²  + 2 x a x 423

  8100 = 846a

      a  = 9.57m/s²
