  1. The tension in the stringabisrole="math" localid="1661342549047" 15N.
  2. The tension in the string bc is 29N.

Step by step solution

01

Understanding the given information

The inclination angle ofT1isθ1=60°.

The inclination angle ofT2isθ2=20° .

The mass of the ball, M=2.0 k²µ.

02

Concept and formula used in the given question

We draw the free body diagram. The system is at equilibrium. For such a system, the vector sum of the forces acting on it is zero. We can apply this concept along the x and y axes separately and find outT1andT2,

Formulae:

ΣF→net=0

(a) Calculation for the tension in string ab

According to the free body diagram, you can apply static equilibrium conditions along the x-axis as

ΣF→x,net=0T1cosθ1−T2cosθ2=0T1cosθ1=T2cosθ2T1=T2cosθ2cosθ1 â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰(1)

You can apply static equilibrium conditions along the y-axis as

ΣF→y,net=0T1sinθ1−T2sinθ2−Mg=0T2cosθ2cosθ1sinθ1−T2sinθ2−Mg=0T2(cosθ2tanθ1−sinθ2)−Mg=0T2(cosθ2tanθ1−sinθ2)=MgT2cosθ2cosθ1sinθ1−T2sinθ2−Mg=0T2=Mg(cosθ2tanθ1−sinθ2)T2=2.0 k²µÃ—9.8″¾/²õ2(cos20°tan60°−sin20°)T2=15 N

(b) Calculation for the tension in string bc

T1=T2cosθ2cosθ1=15.25 Ncos20°cos60°=29 N

The force F→ in Fig. 12-70 keeps the 6.40 k²µ block and the pulleys in equilibrium. The pulleys have negligible mass and friction. Calculate the tension Tin the upper cable. (Hint:When a cable wraps halfway around a pulley as here, the magnitude of its net force on the pulley is twice the tension in the cable.)

A particle is acted on by forces given, in newtons, by F1→=8.40i^−5.70j^and F2→=16.0i^+4.10j^ . (a) What are the xcomponentF3→ and (b) ycomponent of the force Fthat balances the sum of these forces? (c) What angle does F3→have relative to the+xaxis ?

In Figure 12-43, a climber leans out against a vertical ice wall that has negligible friction. Distance ais 0.914″¾ and distance Lis2.10″¾. His center of mass is distance d=0.940″¾from the feet–ground contact point. If he is on the verge of sliding, what is the coefficient of static friction between feet and ground?

After a fall, a 95kgrock climber finds himself dangling from the end of a rope that had been15m long and9.6mm in diameter but has stretched by2.8cm .For the rope, calculate (a) the strain, (b) the stress, and(c) the Young’s modulus.

Three piñatas hang from the (stationary) assembly of massless pulleys and cords seen in Fig. 12-21. One long cord runs from the ceiling at the right to the lower pulley at the left, looping halfway around all the pulleys. Several shorter cords suspend pulleys from the ceiling or piñatas from the pulleys. The weights (in newtons) of two piñatas are given.

(a) What is the weight of the third piñata? (Hint:A cord that loops halfway around a pulley pulls on the pulley with a net force that is twice the tension in the cord.)

(b) What is the tension in the short cord labeled with T?
