Homework Statement Hi, sorry, I am not good at writing English, but I am trying. I hope that someone helps me solve the following problem. http://hodol.kr/q.jpg Please refer to the figure above. A stick(AB) of length 5 is leaning against the Wall(AO) and a string(CO) is tied at the...

I have a physics homework question that i need help with; A submerged ball of negligible mass is attached to the bottom of a swimming pool by two strings as shown. The volume of the ball is 5000cm^3. Calculate the tension in each string. (hint you need to look up the density of water) How do i...

Homework Statement the maximum force is F=F1 +F2 + T as shown in the textbook... I can't understand why the tension of spring is also = F1...Is it because of the writer assume the spring is directly attached to the part P (upper part of the block) ?? Homework EquationsThe Attempt at a Solution

Homework Statement "A cylinder of mass m and radius R is lodged between crossed sticks that make an angle θ with each other. The crossed sticks, each of negligible mass, are connected at the point C, with AC=BC=2R and CD=CE=3R. Determine the tension in the string at DE. Assume the floor is...

Homework Statement Two blocks mA= 5.0 g and mB= 10.0kg are connected to a string. Both blocks sit on a smooth inclined surface where the angle on the inclined plane is 30.0°. Block A is about block B on the incline. Find the acceleration of the system of two blocks. What is the tension TB in...

Homework Statement For a yoyo made of two uniform discs of radius R and each has mass M/2. A short shaft connecting the discs has a very small radius of r. A string is wrapped around the shaft and the yoyo is released with initial speed of zero. Assume that the string is vertical all times and...

Homework Statement A particle A (mass m1) is suspended under ceiling by a light string of length L1. Another light string length L2 is connected to A at one end and connected to particle B(mass m2). They are stable under gravbity at first. Suddenly a horizontal strike is given to A and A has...

Hi there, I saw this question in a book. Basically, we are asked to comment on the effects of Tension of a guitar chord and the Elasticity of the chord itself on the frequency of the sound the guitar produces. I understand Elasticity will have a positive effect on the speed of sound, and...

I am trying to write a simulation program for a relatively complicated mechanical system. Parts of it will be strings wrapped around discs under tension - with the discs moving and rotating. So, I decided to figure out the basics, and am stuck. The situation is thus: An unstretchable...

Homework Statement a 3.4 kg block A and 6.0 kg block Bvec are connected by a string of negligable mass. Force FA = (12 N) acts on block A; force FB = (24 N) acts on block B. What is the tension in the string? http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/2610/imagepn.jpg Homework Equations F=ma...

Hello! This is my first post, I am taking an introductory physics course during my second semester of college and having some trouble with this problem. I hope I have followed the correct format, I appreciate any help that can be offered! Homework Statement A 4.82 kg block is placed on...

Homework Statement Suppose the pulley is suspended by a cord C Determine the tension in this cord after the masses are released and before one hits the ground. Ignore the mass of the pulley and cords. Mass 1 : 1.2kg Mass 2 : 3.2kg Pulley and String mass is negligible Homework...

Homework Statement The figure shows two masses hanging from a steel wire. The mass of the wire is 60.0 g. A wave pulse travels along the wire from point 1 to point 2 in 24.0 ms. What is mass m? Homework Equations v = sqrt(Ts/mu)The Attempt at a Solution T=mu*v^2 t = 0.024s d = 4m v = d/t =...

I have tried the following question in direction of conservation of mechanical energy, but not sure how this related to the tension of string. A 2.5-kg object suspended from the ceiling by a string that has a length of 2.5 m is released from rest with the string 40 below the horizontal...

Homework Statement A pendulum is 0.615 m long and the bob has a mass of 1.37 kg. When the string makes an angle of =14.1° with the vertical, the bob is moving at 1.40 m/s. Find the tangential and radial acceleration components and the tension in the string. [Hint: Draw an FBD for the bob...

Let's say I hang an object of mass M from a string attached to the ceiling. The force of gravity on this object at rest would be [0,0,-Mg]. The tension force I assume would be [0,0,Mg] by Newton's third law. (Am I right on this?) Next, assume I start the object spinning in a horizontal circle...
