Consider the 65 N light fixture supported as in the figure. Find the tension in the supporting wires.

ASHA 777 [7]3 years ago

By using Lami's theorem formula, the tension in the supporting wires is 48.6 Newtons

TENSION

  • Tension is also a force having Newton as S.I unit.
  • The tension in the wire will be the same.

This question can be solved by using either vector diagram or by using  Lami's theorem.

The sum of two given angles  = 42 + 42 = 84 degrees

The third angle = 180 - 84 = 96 degrees.

Below is the Lami's theorem formula

\frac{T}{sin\alpha } = \frac{T}{sin\beta } = \frac{W}{sinY}

Where

\alpha  = \beta = 42 + 90 = 132 degrees

Y = 96 degrees

W = 65 N

By using the formula, we have

\frac{T}{sin\alpha } =  \frac{W}{sinY}

T/sin 132 = 65/sin96

Cross multiply

T = 0.743 x 65.57

T = 48.56 N

Therefore, the tension in the supporting wires is 48.6 Newtons approximately.

Kay [80]
Donna's doctor must have diagnosed her with muscle cramps. With the given symptoms above, it is likely that she is experiencing muscle cramps. Muscle cramps most likely happen when the individual experiencing it is lack of fluid intake, causing the muscles to tighten causing pain and for the muscle to contract involuntarily.

A high speed train is traveling at a speed of 44.7 m/s when the engineer sounds the 415 Hz warning horn. The speed of sound is 3
il63 [147K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Speed of the source of sound = v = 44.7 m/s

Speed of sound = V = 343 m/s

a) Apparent  frequency as the train approaches = f =  [V /(V -v) ] × f

= [343 / (343 - 44.7) ] × 415  = 477.18 Hz

Wave length =  λ = v / f = 343 / 477.18 = 0.719 m

b) Frequency heard as the train leaves = f ' =  [V / ( V + v) ] f

                                                                     = [343 / { 343 + 44.7 ) ] x 415

                                                                      = 367.2 Hz

Wavelength when leaving = v / f = 343 / 367.2 = 0.934 m

What is the process called in which water vapor and carbon dioxide retain heat?
saw5 [17]

The process in which water vapour and carbon dioxide traps heat is called the “greenhouse effect”.

 

The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon which occurs every day. To illustrate an example of this natural phenomenon, d<span>uring the day the Sun shines through the atmosphere. Earth's surface warms up because of the sunlight. Meanwhile at night in the absence of the sunlight, Earth's surface cools back and releasing the heat back into the air. However some of the heat is retained by the greenhouse gases (such as carbon dioxide and water vapour) in the atmosphere. This process what keeps our planet Earth warm and cozy at an average temperature of 16°C.</span>
