Problem
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.
Solution
a)
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
