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/s2=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 .

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/s2=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 .

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
