A busy job Context For a summer job, you work in a warehouse where big boxes are moved. Learning that you have a background in physics, your supervisor asks you which cables should be used to move loads. Constraints The loads are supported by two cables: one horizontal and the other inclined with respect to the ceiling. The angle theta is known. The mass of the charge is known. The masses of the cables and the support (the ring) are negligible. As the charges move very slowly, they are considered to be stationary.
A busy job
Context
For a summer job, you work in a warehouse where big boxes are moved. Learning that you have a background in physics, your supervisor asks you which cables should be used to move loads.
Constraints
The loads are supported by two cables: one horizontal and the other inclined with respect to the ceiling.
The angle theta is known.
The mass of the charge is known.
The masses of the cables and the support (the ring) are negligible.
As the charges move very slowly, they are considered to be stationary.
Schematization
Draw a diagram of the object that interests us. Draw your x and y axes. Draw and name each force experienced by the object that interests us.
Modelization
Develop a model to determine the voltage in cable 1 (left) and then cable 2 (right), given the known parameters. Then test your model with the following data:
Chord angle: 37 degrees
Load mass: 13.5 kg
