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

Physics

erik [133]3 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

Explain what physicists mean when they say that the de Broglie wavelength relates to the probability distribution wave function.
Ksju [112]

Answer:

Because it unites particle and wave nature.

Explanation:

De Broglie wavelength can be defined as the,

\lambda =\frac{h}{mv}

Here, h is planks constant, m is the mass of electron, v is the velocity of electron.

Since the de Broglie wavelength can behave like the photon wavelength with respect to the  momentum

It unites particles and waves nature ,so De Broglie wavelengths is probability waves associated with the wave function according to physicists.

What does it depend on
gavmur [86]

Electric force varies directly with the magnitude of each charge, and inversely with the distance between the charges.

but for short....

The potential difference between the plates of an ideal air-filled parallel-plate capacitor with a plate separation of 6.0 cm is
Yanka [14]

Answer:

1000 N/C

Explanation:

Potential difference, V = 60 V

Distance between the plates, d = 6 cm = 0.06 m

The electric field between the plates is given by

E = V / d

E = 60 / 0.06 = 1000 N/C

Thus, the electric filed between the plates is 1000 N/C.
