AI Thread Summary
To calculate the tension in the rope supporting a 65.0 kg box moving upwards at a velocity of 4.8 m/s and accelerating at 4.8 m/s², one must consider the forces acting on the box. The gravitational force acting downwards is equal to the weight of the box, which is 65.0 kg multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s²). Using Newton's second law, the net force can be determined by adding the tension in the rope and the weight of the box, accounting for the upward acceleration. The equation T - mg = ma can be rearranged to solve for tension (T). This approach will yield the required tension in the rope.

Hey guys, I'm new to this forum. Hopefully someone can help me out.

The problem is their is a 65.0 kg box hanging from a rope. The box has a velocity of 4.8 m/s in the Y direction and is speeding up at 4.8 m/s^2. The Y axis points up.

The question is, how do i calculate the tension on the rope?

TIA

Welcome! Identify the forces acting on the box and apply Newton's 2nd law. Please show your attempt.
 

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
