The tension in the string supporting the rod and the attached weights is 7.11 N.
<h3>Tension in the string supporting the rod</h3>
The tension in the string supporting the rod and the attached weights is the sum of the weights supported by the strings.
T = (m1 + m2)g
where;
- m1 and m2 are the two masses supported
0.4lb + 1.2lb = 1.6lb = 0.725 kg
T = 0.725 x 9.8
T = 7.11 N
