The three ropes inFIGUREEX6.2are tied to a small, very light ring. Two of the ropes are anchored to walls at right angles, and the third rope pulls as shown. What are T1and T2, the magnitudes of the tension forces in the first two ropes?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Magnitude of the tensionT1=86.6N

Magnitude of the tension T2=50N

Step by step solution

01

Tension : 

The pulling force transferred axially by a string, cable, chain, or similar item, or by each end of a rod, truss member, or similar three-dimensional object is known as tension.

02

Magnitude of the tension T1 :

The figure depicts a light ring attached by three ropes, two of which are fixed to the walls at right angles.

Using Newton's second law for equilibrium condition in the horizontal direction,

Fx=0

Resolving the components of tension in the ropes in x-direction,

-T1+T3cos=0

The tension in the first rope =T1

The tension in the third rope =T3

The angle made by the third rope with the positive x-axis =

Substitute 100Nfor T3and 30for ,

-T1+100Ncos30=0T1=100N0.866=86.6N

Hence, the magnitude of the tensionT1is86.6N.

03

Magnitude of the tension T2 : 

The figure depicts a light ring attached by three ropes, two of which are fixed to the walls at right angles.

Using Newton's second law for equilibrium condition,

Fy=0

Resolving the components of tension in the ropes in y-direction,

T2-T3sin=0

Tension in the second rope =T2.

Substitute 100Nfor T3and 30for ,

T2-100Nsin30=0T2=100N0.5=50N

Hence, magnitude of the tensionT2is50N.

Seat belts and air bags save lives by reducing the forces exerted on the driver and passengers in an automobile collision. Cars are designed with a 鈥渃rumple zone鈥 in the front of the car. In the event of an impact, the passenger compartment decelerates over a distance of about 1 m as the front of the car crumples. An occupant restrained by seat belts and air bags decelerates with the car. By contrast, an unrestrained occupant keeps moving forward with no loss of speed (Newton鈥檚 first law!) until hitting the dashboard or windshield. These are unyielding surfaces, and the unfortunate occupant then decelerates over a distance of only about 5 mm.

a. A 60 kg person is in a head-on collision. The car鈥檚 speed at impact is 15 m/s. Estimate the net force on the person if he or she is wearing a seat belt and if the air bag deploys.

b. Estimate the net force that ultimately stops the person if he or she is not restrained by a seat belt or air bag.
