Calculations with 1: T1sintheta + T2sintheta = W T1costheta = T2costheta Calculations with 2: Wsintheta = T1 Wcostheta = T2 These are not equivalent. Can someone point out the flaw in my logic? Edit: System is in equilibrium!

Homework Statement The surface of a liquid is just able to support the weight of a six-legged insect. The leg ends can be assumed to be spheres each of radius 3.2 × 10−5 m and the weight of the insect is distributed equally over the six legs. The coefficient of surface tension in this case is...

Homework Statement Homework EquationsThe Attempt at a Solution what's the Fa and Fb? my logic is Fa = Wa - N = mg - ##\frac{N}{\cos \theta}## so is Fb... so the ratio is 1. But I know it's wrong. What will make the difference between Fa and Fb? can anyone give a clue please?

Hi I am studying force components on a inclined plane. I understand the concept of breaking vectors into X , Y Components relative to the horizontal plane however what I can't seem to make sense of is how the ratios of a triangle and the main input force being the hypotenuse of the triangle...

Homework Statement A Rod of Mass "M" is attached to a two-way hinge on the floor. It is being pulled by a spring (extension spring, so force is pulling the rod to the right, causing it to move clockwise). The hinge is frictionless. the rod has a mass of 5kg evenly distributed the pulling...

Hi! So I'm building an electromagnetic bicycle where the frame is levitating over the wheels, thus reducing the rolling friction to almost zero by removing the bearings. Magnets have also been placed alongside the wheels to provide side to side stability. Black is the frame, red are the magnets...

1. The problem statement, all variables, and given/known data Attached is a diagram of what I am trying to solve. I need to calculate the X and Y components for both F1 and F2. The results will then be used in a later problem that I've already solved but I am coming up with an error and I was...

Hi, this is my first forum post - sorry if I'm in the wrong place, or I've done something wrong! Homework Statement Here goes: There is a beam of 0.5m length hinged to a wall at a right angle with 200N mass at the end of the beam. This is supported by a wire T at angle 30°. The question asks...

Homework Statement A force F is applied to a box of mass M at an angle θ below the horizontal (see figure). The coefficient of static friction between the box and the floor is μs, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the two surfaces is μk. a) What is the minimum value of F to get...

Homework Statement Refer to figure please. Homework Equations ∑Fy=0 before string is cut The Attempt at a Solution I tried summing the two forces in the y direction before the strings were cut which would be the two tensions at a sin40° and minus the weight of the ball(mg). That gave me T in...

Hello All, I have a question for which I'd like an authoritative answer, if some physics genius would be so kind. I'll try to provide as much background as I can but follow up questions for clarity are more than welcome! So I'm working on the design for a patent application and it involves a...
