Answer #1
GIVEN:Mass ( m ) = 2.50 kgTension ( T1 ) = ( T2 ) = T...........................................................................................PICTURE:.........................................................................................................................................SOLUTIONTension T1= T2 = T = mgTherefore T = 2.5 kg x 9.8 m/s2= 24.5 NFrom the figure total force acting ( F ) = T1 cos 30o + T2 cos 30o= 2 T Cos 30o=2 x 24.5 N x 0.8660= 42.43 N
