A string is stretched by two equal but opposite forces f newton each what is tension in string

Physics
1 answer:
Maru [3.3K]1 month ago

The string does not experience any force of tension, as it balances two forces acting in the same direction. Hence, the tension is zero.

Explanation:

If tension existed in the string, it would mean that two equal but opposite forces are exerting pull in contrary directions.

When a force of f newtons is applied from the right and another force of f newtons from the left, the resulting action occurs through one force. Because there is action on the same string in opposing directions, the tension in the string can only be equal to the magnitude of the string itself.

Therefore, the string indeed has no tension since it is dealing with two forces acting in the same direction. Thus, the tension is zero.

Suppose that 8 turns of a wire are wrapped around a pipe with a length of 60 inches and a circumference of 4​ inches, so that th
inna [3103]

Answer:

The wire length is 32 inches.

Explanation:

According to the question,

The pipe's length = 60 inches

The pipe's circumference = 4 inches

Now,

The wire wraps around the pipe for 8 complete turns.

Now, with 2πr = 4, we find that

r = 2/π

Thus,

The radius, r = 2/π

The wire's length can be calculated as,

Length = Number of turns x Circumference of the pipe

So, length of wire = 8 x 4 = 32 inches.

Consequently, the wire length is 32 inches.

A roundabout in a fairground requires an input power of 2.5 kW when operating at a constant angular velocity of 0.47 rad s–1 . (
ValentinkaMS [3465]
Since the roundabout operates at a constant angular velocity, the input power equals the frictional power. Given that the frictional power is 2.5 kW, we can express this as frictional torque multiplied by angular velocity: frictional torque x 0.47 = 2.5 kW. Therefore, solving for frictional torque gives us 2.5 / 0.47 kN.m, which amounts to approximately 5.32 kN.m, leading to a rounded value of 5 kN.m. When the power supply is interrupted, the roundabout experiences deceleration due to the influence of the frictional torque.

Assume that the cart is free to roll without friction and that the coefficient of static friction between the block and the cart
Keith_Richards [3271]

Answer:F=\frac{(M+m)g}{\mu _s}

Explanation:

Provided:

The trolley, with mass M, is allowed to roll freely without friction.

The coefficient of friction between the trolley and mass m is \mu _s.

A force F is applied to mass m.

The acceleration of the system is

a=\frac{F}{M+m}

The frictional force will counterbalance the weight of the block.

The frictional force is =\mu _sN

N=ma

\mu _sN=mg

\mu _sma=mg

\mu _s=\frac{g}{a}

F=\frac{(M+m)g}{\mu _s}

A helicopter starting on the ground is rising directly into the air at a rate of 25 ft/s. You are running on the ground starting
serg [3582]

Response:

The speed at which the distance from the helicopter to you is changing (in ft/s) after 5 seconds is \sqrt{725} ft/ sec

Clarification:

Provided:

h(t) = 25 ft/sec

x(t) = 10 ft/ sec

h(5) = 25 ft/sec. 5 = 125 ft

x(5) = 10 ft/sec. 5 = 50 ft

At this point, we can determine the distance between the individual and the helicopter utilizing the Pythagorean theorem

D(t) = \sqrt{h^2 + x^2}

Now, let's calculate the derivative of distance in relation to time

\frac{dD}{dt} (t) = \frac{2h \cdot \frac{dh}{dt} +2x \cdot\frac{dx}{dt}} {2\sqrt{h^2 + x^2}}

By plugging in the values for h(t) and x(t) and simplifying, we arrive at,

\frac{dD}{dt}(t) = \frac{50t \cdot \frac{dh}{dt} + 20 \cdot \frac{dx}dt}{2\sqrt{625\cdot t^2 + 100 \cdot t^2}}

\frac{dh}{dt} = 25ft/sec

\frac{dx}{dt} = 10 ft/sec

\frac{Dd}{dt} (t) = \frac{1250t +200t}{2\sqrt{725}t} = \frac{725}{\sqrt{725}} = \sqrt{725} ft / sec

A window washer on a hanging platform cleans the outside of windows on a skyscraper. The washer hoists the platform up the side
kicyunya [3294]

Answer:

The acceleration of the platform is - 1.8 m/s²

Explanation:

The net force on a body causes that body to accelerate in the direction of the resultant force applied.

Setting up the force equilibrium for the configuration:

ma = 800 - mg

100a = 800 - 100×9.8

100a = - 180

100a = - 180

a = - 1.8 m/s²

This indicates that the body is falling downward.
