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

If the horse lifts a 50 kilogram mass a vertical distance of 3 meters in 2 seconds, what is the horse’s minimum power output?
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

735watts

Explanation:

Power = Force*distance/time

Given

Force = mg = 50 * 9.8'

Force = 490N

distance = 3m

time = 2s

Substitute

Power = 490*3/2

Power = 1470/2

Power = 735Watts

Hence the minimum power output is 735watts

one group of atoms on the periodic tables are known as "noble gases". why have they been given this name?​
maria [59]
This group is called “noble gases” because they do not react with other elements. This is because they have a full valence shell.
