Answer:
C. strike-slip fault
Explanation:
The scientist must have observed a strike- slip fault.
A fault is an evidence of brittle deformation of the crust in the presence of applied stress on earth materials. Here, the earth material is the rock subjected to tension.
Where a fault occurs, there must have been movement between two blocks of rocks. The direction of movement helps us to delineate the fault type.
- When two blocks moves past each other horizontally, it is a strike-slip fault like rubbing your palms together.
- When a block moves in the direction of the dip, it forms a dip-slip fault which results in a fault-block mountain characterized by graben and horst systems.
Option A, Plateau is a table landform usually a mountain with flat peak.
Option B is a bowl shaped stratigraphic pattern in which the youngest sequence is at the core of the strata or a fold.
So, the most fitting option is C, a strike-slip fault.
To solve this problem we will begin by finding the necessary and effective distances that act as components of the centripetal and gravity Forces. Later using the same relationships we will find the speed of the body. The second part of the problem will use the equations previously found to find the tension.
PART A) We will begin by finding the two net distances.
And the distance 'd' is
Through the free-body diagram the tension components are given by
Here we can watch that,
Dividing both expression we have that,
Replacing the values,
PART B) Using the vertical component we can find the tension,
