Figure 3 shows a stationary metal block hanging from the middle of a stretched wire which is suspended from a horizontal beam. T
he tension in each half of the wire is 15 N. (a) Calculate for the wire at A, (i) the resultant horizontal component of the tension forces, (ii) the resultant vertical component of the tension forces. Can someone explain why the first one is 0?
1 answer:
Explanation:
(i) The horizontal component of the tension in the right wire points right, and the horizontal component of the tension in the left wire points left. Since these components are equal and opposite, the resultant horizontal force is 0.
∑Fₓ = 15 N cos 20° − 15 N cos 20°
∑Fₓ = 0 N
(ii) ∑Fᵧ = 15 N sin 20° + 15 N sin 20°
∑Fᵧ = 10.26 N

Height = 53.361 m
Explanation:
There are two balloons being thrown down, one with initial speed (u1) = 0 and the other with initial speed (u2) = 43.12
From the given information we make the following summary
= 0m/s
= t
= 43.12m/s
= (t-2.2)s
The distance by the first balloon is
where
a = 9.8m/s2
Inputting the values
The distance traveled by the second balloon
Inputting the values
simplifying
Substituting D of the first balloon into the D of the second balloon and solving
Now we know the value of t. We input this into the equation of the first balloon the to get height of the apartment
