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,

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°=80 Ntan60°=42.6 N
The expression for the value of the tension T2 in the rope is calculated as,
T2=T3sin60°−T1cos60°=(80 N)sin60°−(42.6 N)cos60°=46.2 N
The mass of the block is calculated as,
m=T2g=46.2 N9.8 m/s2=4.7 kg
Conclusion:
Therefore, the value of the tension T1 is 42.6 N , T2 is 46.2 N and the value of the mass is m is 4.7 kg .
(c)
The unknown tension and masses.

Answer to Problem 52P
The value of the tension T1 is 34 N , T2 is 58.8 N and the value of the mass is m is 3.47 kg .
Explanation of Solution
Formula used:
The free body diagram for the tension in the rope for figure (c) is shown in Figure 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=(6 kg)(9.8 m/s2)=58.8 N
The expression for the value of the tension T1 in the rope is calculated as,
T2=T1sin60°+T3sin60°58.8 N=T1sin60°+T1sinsin60°T1=58.8 N2sin60°T1=34 N
The mass of the block is calculated as,
m=T1g=34 N9.8 m/s2=3.47 kg
Conclusion:
Therefore, the value of the tension T1 is 34 N , T2 is 58.8 N and the value of the mass is m is 3.47 kg .

- Four capacitors are connected as shown in the figure below. (Let C = 12.0 µF.) A circuit consists of four capacitors. It begins at point a before the wire splits in two directions. On the upper split, there is a capacitor C followed by a 3.00 µF capacitor. On the lower split, there is a 6.00 µF capacitor. The two splits reconnect and are followed by a 20.0 µF capacitor, which is then followed by point b.
