Rotational Equilibrium And Rotational Dynamics

In physics, the state of balance between the forces and the dynamics of motion is called the equilibrium state. The balance between various forces acting on a system in a rotational motion is called rotational equilibrium or rotational dynamics.

Equilibrium of Forces

The tension created on one body during push or pull is known as force.

Question

**Title: Understanding Tension in Wire Segments Supporting a Lamp**

A lamp of mass \( m \) is suspended from a series of short, massless wire segments which connect to a horizontal ceiling and a vertical wall, as depicted in the diagram. The lamp remains stationary, indicating equilibrium.

### Diagram Description:

The diagram illustrates a lamp labeled \( m \) hanging vertically. The supporting wires create specific angles of \( 60^\circ \) with respect to both the horizontal ceiling and the vertical wall. There are three tensions in the wire segments, labeled \( T_1 \), \( T_2 \), and \( T_3 \).

### Task Description:

**(A) Free-Body Diagram**

1. Draw a free-body diagram for the hanging mass system.
2. Indicate and label all acting forces on the lamp.
3. Establish \( x \) and \( y \) axes for your diagram.

**(B) Newton's Second Law**

1. Apply Newton's Second Law to write equations for force components:
- Divide forces into \( x \) and \( y \) components.
- Consider \( T_2 \) and \( T_3 \), the provided angles, the mass \( m \), and gravitational constant \( g \).
2. Simplify but do not solve the equations.

**(C) Solving for Tensions**

- Given that the weight of the lamp is \( 250 \) Newtons, calculate the magnitudes of tensions \( T_1 \), \( T_2 \), and \( T_3 \).

Understanding this setup and solving for tensions illustrates the application of static equilibrium and Newton's laws in real-world physics problems.
