Answer: T_1 = 77.2 \text N \newline T_2= 91.87 \text N

Assuming the figure as attached.

The sum of Horizontal components of the Tension in the rope is zero or equal as they balance out each other.T_1 sin40 \textdegree = T_2 sin50 \textdegree \newline T_1 = 1.19 T_2

The sum of vertical components of the tension is equal to the weight of the block.T_1 cos 40 \textdegree +T_2cos50 \textdegree = 120 \text N \newline 1.19T_2(0.766 )+T_2 0.64 = 120 \text N T_2 = 77.2 \text N T_1 = 1.19 T2 = 1.19 \times 77.2 \text N = 91.87 \text N

The weight should be shared between the two string equally. Therefore, tension in each string, T is;

T = 120 N/2 = 60 N

Relay of thermostate is not working why
Colt1911 [192]

Check the power source. Your thermostat may just not be connected right or at all. A blown fuse, tripped circuit breaker or dead batteries will prevent the thermostat from turning on your furnace.

Dirty thermostat? That’ll cause issues. Clean up any dust, dirt, spider webs and other debris. Any of these things can coat the inside of the thermostat and interfere with both electrical and mechanical functions of the thermostat. Put this on your get-ready-for-winter cleaning list. Just use a soft, clean brush to clean the inside components gently. Don’t get anything wet. Also you can use a can of compressed air, such as is used for electronics, to clear debris.

Check for any loose wires or terminal screws inside the thermostat. Make sure wires aren’t corroded or detached. Never remove the thermostat cover without removing the batteries or turning off the power at the fuse or breaker box. Tighten screws and secure loose wires if needed.

It may be time to replace your thermostat is it’s old. They aren’t meant to last forever and an old thermostat may be costing you a lot of money in wasted energy and time spent tinkering with an outdated model. There are great programmable thermostats available now that are easy to use and simple to connect to your existing HVAC system. Click here for more info on programmable thermostats.

) each plate of a parallel-plate air-filled capacitor has an area of 0.0020 , and the separation of the plates is an electric fi
Dvinal [7]
I attached the full question.
We know that for a parallel-plate capacitor the surface charge density is given by the following formula:
\sigma=\varepsilon_0 \frac{V}{d}
Where V is the voltage between the plates and d is separation.
Voltage is by definition:
V=Ed
Voltage is analog to the mechanical work done by the force.
Above formula is correct only If the field is constant, and we can assume that it is since no function has been given.
The charge density would then be:
\sigma=\varepsilon_0 \frac{Ed}{d}=\varepsilon_0E\\
\sigma= 8.85\cdot10^{-12}\cdot 2.1\cdot 10^6= 0.0000185\frac{c}{m^2}
Please note that elecric permittivity of air is very close to  elecric permittivity of vacum, it is common to use them <span>interchangeably</span>.

An astronaut is a short distance away from her space station without a tether rope. She has a large wrench. What should she do w
Hitman42 [59]

Answer: b. Throw it directly away from the space station.

Explanation:

According to <u>Newton's third law of motion</u>, <em>when two bodies interact between them, appear equal forces and opposite senses in each of them.</em>  

To understand it better:  

Each time a body or object exerts a force on a second body or object, it (the second body) will exert a force of equal magnitude but in the opposite direction on the first.  

So, if the astronaut throws the wrench away from the space station (in the opposite direction of the space station), according to Newton's third law, she will be automatically moving towards the station and be safe.
