A 20 kg weight is suspended from a string. What is the tension on the string

The weight is in equilibrium, so the two forces acting on it (tension <em>T</em> pulling upward, and its own weight <em>W</em> pulling it downward) cancel each other. By Newton's second law,

∑ <em>F</em> = <em>T</em> - <em>W</em> = 0

so that

<em>T</em> = <em>W</em>

Calculate the object's weight:

<em>W</em> = (20 kg) (9.8 m/s²) = 196 N

So the tension is <em>T</em> = 196 N as well.

assume that tension in string a is Ta and in string b is Tb

now taking the component of tensions

Tasin30∘=Tbsin30∘...(1)

it means Ta=Tb

Tacos30∘+Tbcos30∘=mg...(2)

⇒2Tacos30∘=20×10⇒Ta=Tb=3200

Recall the topography of the Sierra Nevada Mountains east of California's central valley. Which of the following locations would
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

3. western slope

Explanation:

If we investigate the physical features (such as natural and artificial features) of the Sierra Nevada Mountains located at the California's central valley eastern part, the western slope has the highest value of the precipitation level yearly. This is due to the location of the slope and the relevant conditions such as temperature and humidity.

A car is being driven at a rate of 60 ft/sec when the brakes are applied. The car decelerates at a constant rate of 19
Hunter-Best [27]

The car will take 300 m before it stops due to applying break.

<h3>What's the relation between initial velocity, final velocity, acceleration and distance?</h3>
  • As per Newton's equation of motion, V² - U² = 2aS
  • V= final velocity velocity of the object, U = initial velocity velocity of the object, a= acceleration, S = distance covered by the object
  • Here, U = 60 ft/sec, V = 0 m/s, a= -6 ft/sec²
  • So, 0² - 60² = 2×6× S

=> -3600 = -12S

=> S = 3600/12 = 300 m

Thus, we can conclude that the distance covered by the car is 300 m before it stopped.
