    Drawing Fbd
AI Thread Summary
To analyze the tension in the ropes held by a person with a mass of 70 kg at an angle of 85 degrees, a free body diagram (FBD) is essential. The FBD should represent the points where the person's hands meet the rings and where the ropes attach to the ceiling. These points will help visualize the forces acting on the person, including tension and weight. Understanding these forces allows for the calculation of tension in each rope. Properly constructing the FBD is crucial for solving the problem effectively.

Homework Statement


A person is holding onto 2 separate rings and each at angle is 85 degrees. find the tension in each rope. The mass of the person is 70kg. so we know the mass of the person, and the angle of ropes, i should be able to figure it out by looking at a FBD but i don't know how the FBD would look. i just need to know what points should be taken as the square (or the dot) in the FBD, the areas where his hands meet the rings or the areas where the rope attaches to the roof

thanks, that helped a lot
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
