Concept explainers
Two vertical chains are used to hold up a 1000-N log. One chain has a tension of 400 N. Find the tension in the other chain.
Tension in the other chain.
Answer to Problem 42A
Tension in the other chain is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Weight of log,
Tension in one chain is 400 N.
Formula Used:
For mechanical equilibrium, summation of all forces is zero, that is
Calculation:
The figure is,
Since, the log is in mechanical equilibrium so,
Upward force = Downward force
Conclusion:
Therefore, the tension in the other chain is
