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

Which of the following is not affect by muscles a blood temperature b digestion c hair growth d speech
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

c

Explanation:

i would think c would be correct because

blood temperature IS affected by muscles

digestion IS affected by muscles

speech IS affected by muscles

so therefore <em>hair growth</em> IS NOT affected by muscles

A psychopathologist records the number of criminal offenses among teenage drug users in a nationwide sample of 1,201 participant
lara [203]

Answer:

Standard deviation = 3

Explanation:

Given

N = 1201

SS = 10800

Required

Determine the standard deviation

First, we need to determine the variance;

Variance = \frac{SS}{N - 1}

This gives:

Variance = \frac{10800}{1201 - 1}

Variance = \frac{10800}{1200}

Variance = 9

Know that:

Variance = SD^2

Where SD represents standard deviation

This gives

9 = SD^2

Take square root

SD = \sqrt 9

SD = 3

Two identical cars, one on the moon and one on the earth, have the same speed and are rounding banked turns that have the same r
Naily [24]

Answer:

The value of the centripetal forces are same.

Explanation:

Given:

The masses of the cars are same. The radii of the banked paths are same. The weight of an object on the moon is about one sixth of its weight on earth.

The expression for centripetal force is given by,

F_{c} = \dfrac{mv^{2}}{r}

where, m is the mass of the object, v is the velocity of the object and r is the radius of the path.

The value of the centripetal force depends on the mass of the object, not on its weight.

As both on moon and earth the velocity of the cars and the radii of the paths are same, so the centripetal forces are the same.
