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

Physics

erik [133]2 years ago

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

A small sandbag is dropped from rest from a hovering hot-air balloon. (assume the positive direction is upward.) (a) after 1.5 s
marishachu [46]

solution:

We know v0 = 0, a = 9.8, t = 4.0. We need to solve for v

so,

we use the equation:

v = v0 + at

v = 0 + 9.8*4.0

v = 39.2 m/s

Now we just need to solve for d, so we use the equation:

d = v0t + 1/2*a*t^2

d = 0*4.0 + 1/2*9.8*4.0^2

d = 78.4 m

In which one of the following situations is zero net work done? A) A ball rolls down an inclined plane. B) A physics student str
lidiya [134]

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

The work done can be given by the mechanical energy used to do work, i.e., Kinetic energy and potential energy provided to do the work.

In all the cases, except option D, the energy provided to do the useful work is not zero and hence work done is not zero.  

In option D, the box is being pulled with constant velocity, making the acceleration zero and thus Kinetic energy of the system is zero. Hence work done in this case is zero.

A scientist wants to measure the relationship between humidity in the
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

<em>The most suitable testable question. in this case, would be that 'are there more home runs during the more humid months of the  summer?'</em>

Since the aim of the investigation is to find the relationship between humidity and the number of home runs, measuring the number of home runs during the more humid months in the summer and comparing the data to the number of home runs during the less humid months in the same summer would provide the answer.

<u>Only option D raises a valid question that is relevant to the aim of the investigation.</u>

What is the least force you could exert on the refrigerator to move it?
Ulleksa [173]
 <span>If the refrigerator weights 1365 and you are not exerting any vertical force on it, then the normal force is also 1365N. so Fn=1365 

Fsf = Static frictional force = (coefficient of static friction) * (Normal force) 

So the least for you could exert to move it is equal to the Fsf. 
Fsf = (0.49)(1365N)</span><span>
