Tension Definition and 1000 Threads

(The answer given in the text says ##\boxed{T_1\; >\; T_2}## but, as I show below, I think it's just the opposite). I begin by putting an image relevant to the problem above. Taking a small particle each of the same mass ##m## at the two positions, the centripetal forces are ##T_1 =...

Is surface tension topic present is resnick halliday walker, principles of physics 10th edition,if present then please tell me on which page

Summary: My homework question asks: Consider a simple pendulum, undergoing small oscillations. Is the time average of the tension in the string of the pendulum larger or smaller than mg? By how much? My homework question asks: Consider a simple pendulum, undergoing small oscillations. Is the...

Homework Statement: Which part of the statement isn’t correct and which is? Is the tension larger in T1 or T2. Homework Equations: Fnet=mg The sum of the two tensions must equal the mass x gravity or weight since the mass is not moving so the force of gravity must equal the force of tension...

so I took string below point A and Block as a system. Taking mass of string below point A as m and mass of block M. Taking downward direction as X axis. I get Mg+mg-T, Taking T as tension by upward part of string. Now the question says about block descending with acceleration a. so again forces...

The thing is that my professor said that if the velocity of ##A## is ##400 cm/s##, the velocity of ##B## is ##200 cm/s## because "##B## is connected to two parts of the rope and ##A## is conected just to one part", and he also said that that ##200 cm/s## is the velocity of ##B## with respect to...

I considered the downwards direction and left direction as negative. For ##m_1##, Newton's equations are: ##x) Fr + W_x - T=0## ##y) N - W_y =0## For ##m_2##: ##y) T - W =0## Then, if I replace the data, I get ##T=22.2 N## and then ##m_2=2.2 kg##. With that, for the second question ##m_2=4.4...

For part a I used conservation of energy. -m*g*cos(θ)*L+1/2*m*0^2=-m*g*L +1/2*m*v^2 => v = sqrt(2*g*L(1-cos(θ )). b) For b I was think that T = mg in the equilibrium point but that doesn't invole θ in the answer. So that's why I tought that T*cos(θ ) = mg. So that the tension is mg/cos(θ). But...

I know that the answer has to be 98.6N. So I know that Fy=0 so that 2*T*sin(theta) = 147.25. Then I was think to take the torque of the left wheel but I can't find the lever arm of the tension force. I also know that u can solve the question by saying that the 2 sides of unknown length are 1.5 m...

The Hubble tension or Hubble discrepancy is a contradiction between the Hubble constant as measured today, and the Hubble constant as measured in the early universe and extrapolated to today. @mfb recently listed the relevant measurements. There are some threads about this in the Cosmology...

A man tries to climb up a rope with acceleration, ## a ##. What does he actually do to climb up? My Interpretation Let the man pull the rope at point A. So the Point A will pull the man with Tension, ## T ##. But at the same time the man is holding the rope, so there will be some normal...

Hi, I have a conceptual question. I was doing some problems on pendulums and found something that confused me. I attached a drawing. I used to always solve these problems by using some trigonometry and trying to find the Tension. i.e. ## m*g = F (of the Tension) * cos(theta) ## so ## \frac...

i believe there must be some tension while for the force to exert there must be acceleration but my intuition says different

My very beginner level understanding is that the rubber band's tension stems from it's particles being held together by it's electric bonds: Atoms and molecules are bound together by their electric charges. And so, When I stretch a rubber band, I am presumably pulling it's particles away from...

I would assume that all the tension in the wire originates from the weight of the mass, and is equal to ##T=mg##, but that is incorrect. Forming a right triangle with a hypothenuse denoted by ##x## and applying Pythagoras theorem: \begin{cases}x^2=y^2+l_o^2 \\ x+y=l_o+\Delta l\end{cases} Solving...

$$\sum F_x = T - w_x - f_k = ma_x $$ $$ T = mg\sin(\theta) + mg\cos(\theta)\mu_k + ma_x$$ $$ T = (9.8 \frac{m}{s^2}) \cdot (\sin(41^{\circ}) + \cos(41^{\circ})) + (75kg)\cdot(0.25\frac{m}{s^2}) $$ $$T = 672.91 N $$ Having found the tension force, I can find the work done by the person who's...

At the bottom of the circle, the tension force is greater than the weight force as there must be a net force acting towards the centre to provide the centripetal force causing the centripetal acceleration and thus the circular motion. In the equation above (T = mv^2/r + mg) I only have the mass...

The solution to the problem simply states: "Use of mv^2/r = 2000. T = (2000 + 7500) = 9500N". I don't understand this solution. Nothing more is provided. I don't know how you are supposed to find the radius (in order to use the centripetal force formula) merely from the information provided...

So, I'm working on calculating the tension force in vertical circles-and I understand how to calculate the tension force at different points in the vertical circle (via vector sums). But what I don't really understand is how to interpret this information. What can I further do with these...

Hello, I need to transmit motion between a servo motor and a pulley through a cable. In order to do that, I've screwed a pulley to the servo and fix the cable on both the motor pulley and the pulley. I am working in a scale where the radius of the cable cannot be neglected due to a precision...

Okay so I am having trouble understanding the relationship between Tension, Net Force, and Acceleration. For example, if two objects in a system are connected by a tension force and accelerating at the same speed, but with different forces acting on each object, would: 1. The net force be equal...

Hi guys, I feel that this question has a very straightforward answer but I am just not quite grasping it. The first picture is the homework question, the second is the free body diagram I drew. I know that a = F/m and I know the solution should be: a = (P - m1*gsinθ - m2*gsinθ) / m1 + m2...

(The weight scale = 10 kg). After initial force, now the mass is lowering down at constant speed of 1 m/s. The motor with pulley's radius of 1 meter is exerted 100 Newton m to keep constant V. The motor speed is about 9.55 rpm. * All other weights, inertia and frictions of the system is...

I used the above equations to solve for tension, torque, inertia, and angular acceleration. Are the formulas I used correct for the given system? How can I calculate Inertia from the trendline equation, I'm drawing a blank.

please explain

I know I have to find the x and y components of T1 using 400cos(55) and 400sin(55) and I know that the x-component of T1 will = the x-component of T2 but opposite sign to give 0. But idk how to get there and what do to for the y-component. I think I found the weight, I think it’s 32.42g but I’m...

The system is in rotational equilibrium and therefore experiences no net torque, meaning all individual torques must add to zero. τNET = 0 = FFTsin(θ)L - FgL - Fg(L/2) τNET = 0 = FTsin30°(0.6?) - (0.5)(9.8)(0.6) - (2.0)(0.6/2) My only problem (I think) is figuring out what the length L is for...
