- A sign is suspended by two wires as shown in the (Figure 1).
Is the tension in each wire larger than, equal to, or smaller than the gravitational force exerted on the sign by Earth?
The tension in the left wire is smaller than the gravitational force that Earth exerts on the sign. The tension in the right wire is larger than the gravitational force that Earth exerts on the sign.
The tension in the left wire is equal to the gravitational force that Earth exerts on the sign. The tension in the right wire is smaller than the gravitational force that Earth exerts on the sign.
The tension in both wires is larger than the gravitational force exerted on the sign by Earth.
The tension in the left wire is larger than the gravitational force that Earth exerts on the sign.
The tension in the right wire is smaller than the gravitational force that Earth exerts on the sign.
The tension in both wires is equal to the gravitational force exerted on the sign by Earth.
The tension in the left wire is smaller than the gravitational force that Earth exerts on the sign.
