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.

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

The  value is  y  = 0.0025 \  m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  wavelength is  \lambda  =  500 \ nm

    The distance of separation is  d =  1\  mm  =  0.001 \ m

   The  distance from the screen is  D  =  5 \ m

Generally the separation between the adjacent bright fringe is mathematically represented as

       y  = \frac{D  *  \lambda }{ d}

=>    y  =  \frac{5 *  500 *10^{-9}}{0.001}

=>    y  = 0.0025 \  m

A uniform disk of mass 21 kg, thickness 0.5 m, and radius 0.6 m is located at the origin, oriented with its axis along the y axi
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

29.69 kgm^2/s

Explanation:

So suppose the axis of rotation is perpendicular to the surface of the disk, then the moment of inertia can be calculated as the following:

I = mr^2/2 = 21 * 0.6^2/2 = 3.78 kgm^2

We can convert the rotation speed in term of 0.8 seconds per revolution to the angular velocity knowing that each revolution is 2π

\omega = 2\pi / 0.8 = 7.85 rad/s

Then the rotational angular momentum of the disk is:

\omega I = 7.85 * 3.78 = 29.69 kgm^2/s

In case the axis of rotation is parallel with the surface, the moment of inertia would have a formula of:

I = m(3r^2 + h^2)/12 = 21*(3*0.6^2 + 0.5^2)/12 = 2.3275 kg m^2
