The system shown above consists of two identical blocks that are suspended using four cords, each of a different length. Which o
f the following claims are true about the magnitudes of the tensions in the cords? Select two answers.

Answer:
Option B and C are True
Note: The attachment below shows the force diagram
Explanation:
The weight of the two blocks acts downwards.
Let the weight of the two blocks be W. Solving for T₁ and T₂;
w = T₁/cos 60° -----(1)
w = T₂/cos 30° ----(2)
equating (1) and (2)
T₁/cos 60° = T₂/cos 30°
T₁ cos 30° = T₂ cos 60°
T₂/T₁ = cos 30°/cos 60°
T₂/T₁ =1.73
Therefore, option a is false since T₂ > T₁
Option B is true since T₁ cos 30° = T₂ cos 60°
Option C is true because the T₃ is due to the weight of the two blocks while T₄ is only due to one block.
Option D is wrong because T₁ + T₂ > T₃ by simple summation of the two forces, except by vector addition.

Answer:
Minimum capacitance = 200 μF
Explanation:
From image B attached, we can calculate the current flowing through the capacitors.
Thus;
Since V=IR; I = V/R = 5/500 = 0.01 A
Maximum charge in voltage is from 5V to 4.9V. Thus, each capacitor will have 2.5V. Hence, change in voltage(Δv) for each capacitor will be ; Δv = 0.05 V
So minimum capacitance will be determined from;
i(t) = C(dv/dt)
So, C = i(t)(Δt/Δv) = 0.01[0.001/0.05]
C = 0.01 x 0.0002 = 200 x 10^(-6) F = 200 μF
