Question

A traveler pulls on a 25 kg suitcase strap at
an angle 36° above the horizontal. If the
suitcase started at rest, and has a final speed
of 1.5 m/s while the suitcase moved a
horizontal distance of 15 m, what is the
tension in the strap? 

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given data: 

Mass (m) = 25 kg

Angle (θ) = 36° , above the horizontal 

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 1.5 m/s

Horizontal distance (d) = 15 m

Required:

The tension force in the strap (F)
