Answer:
The magnitude of the tension on the ends of the clothesline is 41.85 N.
Explanation:
Given that,
Poles = 2
Distance = 16 m
Mass = 3 kg
Sags distance = 3 m
We need to calculate the angle made with vertical by mass
Using formula of angle
We need to calculate the magnitude of the tension on the ends of the clothesline
Using formula of tension
Put the value into the formula
Hence, The magnitude of the tension on the ends of the clothesline is 41.85 N.
Answer:
570 N
Explanation:
Draw a free body diagram on the rider. There are three forces: tension force 15° below the horizontal, drag force 30° above the horizontal, and weight downwards.
The rider is moving at constant speed, so acceleration is 0.
Sum of the forces in the x direction:
∑F = ma
F cos 30° - T cos 15° = 0
F = T cos 15° / cos 30°
Sum of the forces in the y direction:
∑F = ma
F sin 30° - W - T sin 15° = 0
W = F sin 30° - T sin 15°
Substituting:
W = (T cos 15° / cos 30°) sin 30° - T sin 15°
W = T cos 15° tan 30° - T sin 15°
W = T (cos 15° tan 30° - sin 15°)
Given T = 1900 N:
W = 1900 (cos 15° tan 30° - sin 15°)
W = 570 N
The rider weighs 570 N (which is about the same as 130 lb).
