Force Gravity Gravity force Strings Tension

AI Thread Summary

The discussion revolves around calculating the tension force (Fst) in a scenario involving a weight of 2800N and gravity of 10m/s^2 over a distance of 35m in 10 seconds. Participants seek clarification on the conditions of the problem, including whether charges are suspended by the string, the presence of an electric field, and the mass of the particle involved. There is also a request for the appropriate formula to calculate tension force. The lack of specific details in the original question leads to confusion among contributors. Clearer definitions and parameters are necessary for accurate assistance.

Homework Statement

Q= 2800N
G= 10m/s^2
s=35m
t=10s
__________
Fst=? (st-String tension)

Can anyone help me with this, i have a test tomorrow
And if anyone can give me the formula for the Tension force i'd be really grateful.

please specify the condition properly
is the charges hanged through string?
any electric field?
mass of particle?
and what is 35m?

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 'Explain this asphalt sheen'

This problem is two parts. The first is to determine what effects are being provided by each of the elements - 1) the window panes; 2) the asphalt surface. My answer to that is The second part of the problem is exactly why you get this affect. And one more spoiler:
