An electric pole shown in the figure below supports a power line that passes through it. A cable tied to the pole at B passes th
rough a hole in the struct at C and is then tied to the ground at B. There is no friction between the struct and cable. What is the force exerted by the cable onto the pole at B, if the tension in the cable is 47lb.
1 answer:
We have that The force exerted by the cable at point B on the pole is
From the Diagram
We can see that A,B.C is the area showing the circumference of a cable(power line)
Generally the equation for the Tension is mathematically given as
In conclusion
The force exerted by the cable at point B on the pole is

Answer:
a) E = -4 10² N / C , b) x = 0.093 m, c) a = 10.31 m / s², θ=-71.9⁰
Explanation:
For that exercise we use Newton's second Law, in the attached we can see a free body diagram of the ball
X axis
-
= m a
Axis y
- W = 0
Initially the system is in equilibrium, so zero acceleration
Fe =
T_{y} = W
Let us search with trigonometry the components of the tendency
cos θ = T_{y} / T
sin θ = / T
T_{y} = cos θ
= T sin θ
We replace
q E = T sin θ
mg = T cosθ
a) the electric force is
= q E
E = / q
E = -0.032 / 80 10⁻⁶
E = -4 10² N / C
b) the distance to this point can be found by dividing the two equations
q E / mg = tan θ
θ = tan⁻¹ qE / mg
Let's calculate
θ = tan⁻¹ (80 10⁻⁶ 4 10² / 0.01 9.8)
θ = tan⁻¹ 0.3265
θ = 18 ⁰
sin 18 = x/0.30
x =0.30 sin 18
x = 0.093 m
c) The rope is cut, two forces remain acting on the ball, on the x-axis the electric force and on the axis and the force gravitations
X axis
= m aₓ
aₓ = q E / m
aₓ = 80 10⁻⁶ 4 10² / 0.01
aₓ = 3.2 m / s²
Axis y
W = m
a_{y} = g
a_{y} = 9.8 m/s²
The total acceleration is can be found using Pythagoras' theorem
a = √ aₓ² + a_{y}²
a = √ 3.2² + 9.8²
a = 10.31 m / s²
The Angle meet him with trigonometry
tan θ = a_{y} / aₓ
θ = tan⁻¹ a_{y} / aₓ
θ = tan⁻¹ (-9.8) / 3.2
θ = -71.9⁰
Movement is two-dimensional type with acceleration in both axes
