Question
Solution
a)
Let us first derive the expression for the tension.
By Newton's First Law
EF =
the components of force that makes this so is
EF = T
= 0
Simplifying this results to
T =
g/
(4)
Analyzing the figure above, we arrive at
(4) = sqrtt
2+
By substitution, we arrive at the following:
T=
+ 2
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
+
