The maximum value of θ of such the ropes (with a maximum tension of 5,479 N) will be able to support the beam without snapping is:

\theta =37.01^{\circ}

We can apply the first Newton's law in x and y-direction.

If we do a free body diagram of the system we will have:

x-direction

All the forces acting in this direction are:

T_{1}sin(\theta)-T_{2}sin(\theta)=0    (1)

Where:

  • T(1) is the tension due to the rope 1
  • T(2) is the tension due to the rope 2

Here we just conclude that T(1) = T(2)

y-direction

The forces in this direction are:

T_{1}cos(\theta)+T_{2}cos(\theta)-W=0   (2)

Here W is the weight of the steel beam.

We equal it to zero because we need to find the maximum angle at which the ropes will be able to support the beam without snapping.

Knowing that T(1) = T(2) and W = mg, we have:

T_{1}cos(\theta)+T_{1}cos(\theta)-m_{steel}g=0

2T_{1}cos(\theta)-m_{steel}g=0

2T_{1}cos(\theta)=m_{steel}g

T(1) must be equal to 5479 N, so we have:

cos(\theta)=\frac{m_{steel}g}{2T_{1}}

cos(\theta)=\frac{892*9.81}{2*5479}

cos(\theta)=\frac{892*9.81}{2*5479}

cos(\theta)=0.80

Therefore, the maximum angle allowed is θ = 37.01°.

topjm [15]
<h2>5.3 km</h2>

Explanation:

       This question involves continuous displacement in various directions. When it becomes difficult to imagine, vector analysis becomes handy.

       Let us denote each of the individual displacements by a vector. Consider the unit vectors \vec{i}\textrm{ and }\vec{j} as the unit vectors in the direction of East and North respectively.

       By simple calculations, we can derive the unit vectors \vec{j},\frac{-\vec{i}-\vec{j}}{2}\textrm{ and }\frac{-\frac{1}{2}\vec{i}+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\vec{j}}{2} in the directions North, 45^{o} South of West and 60^{o} North of West respectively.

       So Total displacement vector = Sum of individual displacement vectors.

       Displacement vector = 4(\vec{j})+6(\frac{-\vec{i}-\vec{j}}{2})+5(\frac{-\frac{1}{2}\vec{i}+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\vec{j}}{2})=-4.25\vec{i}+3.165\vec{j}

       Magnitude of Displacement = |-4.25\vec{i}+3.165\vec{j}|=5.3km

∴ Total displacement = 5.3km

Under what conditions would a rope remain in equilibrium during a tug of war?
Anettt [7]
The best and most correct answer among the choices provided by the question is the second choice. The rope will not be broken until the net force acting on it is not equal to zero anymore. I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!
