A solid uniform ball with mass m and diameter d is supported against a vertical frictionless wall by a thin massless wire of length L. a) Find the tension in the wire.

Let us first derive the expression for the tension.

By Newton's First Law

ΣF = 

the components of force that makes this so is

ΣF = T -  = 0

Simplifying this results to

T = g/(ϕ)

Analyzing the figure above, we arrive at

(ϕ) = sqrt( 2 +  ) / ( / +  )

By substitution, we arrive at the following:

T =  (  + 2 ) g / (  sqrt ( 2 +  ) )

If the ball has a mass of 45 kg and diameter 32 cm, while the wire has a length of 30 cm. The tension is equal to

T = 0.370 N

Solution
a)
Let us first derive the expression for the tension.
By Newton's First Law
EF = 0
the components of force that makes this so is
IF = T costetha

Simplifying this results to
T= m
g/ cos
Analyzing the figure above, we arrive at
(4) = sqrt(

By substitution, we arrive at the following:
T= m
