A 59.0kg box hangs from a rope. What is the tension in the rope if The box is at rest?
mugzieee said:the forces that are acting on the box are weight and tension of the rope. the only value i have is for the weight which is 59 kg.
Tension in a rope is the force that is transmitted through the rope when it is pulled tight by forces acting on either end.
Tension is measured in units of force, such as pounds or newtons.
The tension in a rope is affected by the weight of the object being pulled, the distance between the two points where the rope is attached, and the angle at which the rope is pulled.
Tension can be calculated using the formula T = mg, where T is tension, m is the mass of the object, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
The tension in a rope determines how much force is applied to the object it is attached to. If the tension is too high, it can cause the object to break or move. If the tension is too low, the object may not move at all.
