Answer:

The tension in each half of the rope, is approximately 4,908.8 N

Explanation:

The mass of the acrobat, m = 60 kg

The length of the rope, l = 10 m

The extent by which the center dropped = 30 cm = 0.3 m

Let, 'T' represent the tension in each half of the rope

Weight, W = Mass, m × The acceleration due to gravity, g

∴ W = m × g

The acceleration due to gravity, g ≈ 9.8 m/s²

∴ The weight of the acrobat, W = 60 kg × 9.8 m/s² ≈ 588 N

The angle the dropped rope makes with the horizontal, θ is given as follows;

θ = arctan((0.3 m)/(5 m)) = arctan(0.06) ≈ 3.434°

At equilibrium, the sum of vertical forces, \Sigma F_y = 0

The vertical component of the tension, T_y, in each half of the rope is given as follows;

T_y = T × sin(θ)

∴ \Sigma F_y = W + T × sin(θ) + T × sin(θ) = W + 2 × T × sin(θ)

Plugging in the values, with θ = arctan(0.06) for accuracy, we get;

588 N + 2 × T × sin(arctan(0.06) = 0

∴ 2 × -T × sin(arctan(0.06) = 588 N

-T= 588 N/(2 × sin(arctan(0.06)) = 4,908.81208 N ≈ 4,908.8 N

The tension in each half of the rope, T ≈ 4,908.8 N.

The process that enhances some properties of an object at the expense of other properties is called:
lidiya [134]

Answer:

The answer is: letter a, pop-out effect.

Explanation:

The "pop-out effect" is a phenomenon which allows the person's precognitive processes to detect a<em> visual stimulus that is potentially the most meaningful one</em> in a person's spatial field of attention. The pop-up effect occurs when a person distinguishes one object from the rest.

For example, when a child chooses among pictures in different colors, it is common for the child to point at colored pictures rather than grayscale pictures. This is an example of a pop-out effect. <u>The properties of the colored pictures is more preferred by the child thus, causing him not to choose or mind the grayscale images.</u>

Thus, this explains the answer.
