Answer:

T = 10010 N

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the translational equilibrium relation, let's set a reference frame

X axis

       Fₓ-Fₓ = 0

       Fₓ = Fₓ

whereby the horizontal components of the tension in the cable cancel

Y Axis  

        F_{y} + F_{y} - W =0

        2F_{y} = W

let's use trigonometry to find the angles

        tan θ = y / x

        θ = tan⁻¹ (0.30 / 0.50 L)

        θ = tan⁻¹ (0.30 / 0.50 15)

        θ = 2.29º

the components of stress are

         F_{y} = T sin θ

we substitute

       2 T sin θ = W

       T = W / 2sin θ

        T = \frac{ 800}{ 2sin 2.29}

        T = 10010 N

If 20 beats are produced within a single second, which of the following frequencies could possibly be held by two sound waves tr
zhuklara [117]

The correct choice is

D. 22 Hz and 42 Hz.

In fact, the beat frequency is given by the difference between the frequencies of the two waves:

f_B = |f_1 -f_2|

In this problem, the beat frequency is f_B=20 Hz, therefore the only pair of frequencies that gives a difference equal to 20 Hz is

D. 22 Hz and 42 Hz.
