Not sure why you think only two forces act at the support points. (Each attached string segment exerts a force.) But at each point, the net force must be zero.Akash47 said:
I haven't forget that.I was just saying that in each point,there are two forces acting in the 'X' axis by the two attached string and as the point is in rest,so this forces are same.And considering the vertical tensions,we can easily end up with the solution.Am I right?Doc Al said:
Certainly the x-components of the tension forces at each point must be equal and opposite. If that's what you mean, then I agree.Akash47 said:
Tension forces are forces that act in opposite directions along a single line or rope, pulling on the objects at either end. They are caused by the stretch or compression of the material that the line or rope is made of.
Tension forces can be calculated using Newton's second law of motion, which states that the force applied to an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration. In the case of a tension force, the mass used in the calculation is the total mass of the object being pulled on.
Tension forces act to pull on an object, while compression forces act to push on an object. Both forces can occur in a system, but they have opposite effects on the objects they act on.
The tension forces in a system can be affected by the mass of the objects being pulled on, the strength and elasticity of the material the line or rope is made of, and the angle at which the force is applied.
Tension forces can be managed or controlled by adjusting the mass of the objects being pulled on, using stronger or more elastic materials for the line or rope, and changing the angle at which the force is applied. Additionally, adding support structures or using multiple lines or ropes can help distribute the tension forces more evenly.
