    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

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

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...

Figure 1 Overall Structure Diagram Figure 2: Top view of the piston when it is cylindrical A circular opening is created at a height of 5 meters above the water surface. Inside this opening is a sleeve-type piston with a cross-sectional area of 1 square meter. The piston is pulled to the right at a constant speed. The pulling force is（Figure 2）： F = ρshg = 1000 × 1 × 5 × 10 = 50,000 N. Figure 3: Modifying the structure to incorporate a fixed internal piston When I modify the piston...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

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...
