Explanation of Solution

Given:

The given diagram is shown in Figure 1

  PHYSICS F/SCI.+ENGRS.,STAND.-W/ACCESS, Chapter 4, Problem 52P , additional homework tip  1

Figure 1

Formula used:

For the given diagram, the expression for the horizontal forces is given by,

  T1cos60°=T3T1=T3cos60°

The equation for the forces resolved in the vertical direction is given by,

  T2=T1sin60°

The expression for the mass of the block is given by,

  m=T2g

Calculation:

The tension T1 is calculated as,

  T1=T3cos60°=60Ncos60°=60N

The expression for the value of the tension T2 in the rope is calculated as,

  T2=T1sin60°=(60N)sin60°=52N

The mass of the block is calculated as,

  m=T2g=52N9.8m/ s 2=5.3kg

Conclusion:

Therefore, the value of the tension T1 is 60N , T2 is 52N and the value of the mass is m is 5.3kg .

Figure 2

For the given diagram, the expression for the horizontal forces is given by,

  T1sin60°=T3sin60°T1=T3tan60°

The equation for the forces resolved in the vertical direction is given by,

  T2=T3sin60°T1cos60°

The expression for the mass of the block is given by,

  m=T2g

Calculation:

The tension T1 is calculated as,

  T1=T3tan60°=80Ntan60°=42.6N

The expression for the value of the tension T2 in the rope is calculated as,

  T2=T3sin60°T1cos60°=(80N)sin60°(42.6N)cos60°=46.2N

The mass of the block is calculated as,

  m=T2g=46.2N9.8m/ s 2=4.7kg

Conclusion:

Therefore, the value of the tension T1 is 42.6N , T2 is 46.2N and the value of the mass is m is 4.7kg .

Answer to Problem 52P

The value of the tension T1 is 34N , T2 is 58.8N and the value of the mass is m is 3.47kg .

Explanation of Solution

Formula used:

The free body diagram for the tension in the rope for figure (c) is shown in Figure 3

  PHYSICS F/SCI.+ENGRS.,STAND.-W/ACCESS, Chapter 4, Problem 52P , additional homework tip  3

Figure 3

For the given diagram, the expression for the horizontal forces is given by,

  T2=m1g

The equation for the forces resolved in the vertical direction is given by,

  T2=T1sin60°+T3sin60°

The expression for the mass of the block is given by,

  m=T1g

The expression for the forces resolved in the horizontal direction is given by,

  T1cos60°=T3cos60°T1=T3

Calculation:

The tension T2 is calculated as,

  T2=m1g=(6kg)(9.8m/ s 2)=58.8N

The expression for the value of the tension T1 in the rope is calculated as,

  T2=T1sin60°+T3sin60°58.8N=T1sin60°+T1sinsin60°T1=58.8N2sin60°T1=34N

The mass of the block is calculated as,

  m=T1g=34N9.8m/ s 2=3.47kg

Conclusion:

Therefore, the value of the tension T1 is 34N , T2 is 58.8N and the value of the mass is m is 3.47kg .
