Answer: Due to atmospheric pressure 1 Kg of Cotton is slightly heavier than 1 kg of Iron.

Explanation: According to me cotton will be more lighter as air is a fluid and Archimedes principal applies on it. As cotton occupies more volume it will feel more up thrust and more loss in weight. That cotton is more heavier .

Answer:

A kg of cotton is heavier.

Explanation:

Because in air, cotton gets upthrust that's why weighing machine gives less weight than its actually have.

for eg: If cotton has 800g weight, the machine shows a kg(1kg) when measure in air due to upthrust.

I hope this will be helpful for you.

A 1300 kg steel beam is supported by two ropes. (Figure

Dmitriy789 [7]

Relative to the positive horizontal axis, rope 1 makes an angle of 90 + 20 = 110 degrees, while rope 2 makes an angle of 90 - 30 = 60 degrees.

By Newton's second law,

the net horizontal force acting on the beam is

$R_1 \cos(110^\circ) + R_2 \cos(60^\circ) = 0$

where $R_1,R_2$ are the magnitudes of the tensions in ropes 1 and 2, respectively;

the net vertical force acting on the beam is

$R_1 \sin(110^\circ) + R_2 \sin(60^\circ) - mg = 0$

where $m=1300\,\rm kg$ and $g=9.8\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}$ .

Eliminating $R_2$ , we have

$\sin(60^\circ) \bigg(R_1 \cos(110^\circ) + R_2 \cos(60^\circ)\bigg) - \cos(60^\circ) \bigg(R_1 \sin(110^\circ) + R_2 \sin(60^\circ)\bigg) = 0\sin(60^\circ) - mg\cos(60^\circ)$
