Answer:
W = 506.75 N
Explanation:
tension = 2300 N
Rider is towed at a constant speed means there no net force acting on the rider.
hence taking all the horizontal force and vertical force in consideration.
net horizontal force:
F cos 30° - T cos 19° = 0
F cos 30° = 2300 × cos 19°
F = 2511.12 N
net vertical force:
F sin 30° - T sin 19°- W = 0
W = F sin 30° - T sin 19°
W = 2511.12 sin 30° - 2300 sin 19°
W = 506.75 N
Answer:
If both the radius and frequency are doubled, then the tension is increased 8 times.
Explanation:
The radial acceleration (), measured in meters per square second, experimented by the moving end of the string is determined by the following kinematic formula:
(1)
Where:
- Frequency, measured in hertz.
- Radius of rotation, measured in meters.
From Second Newton's Law, the centripetal acceleration is due to the existence of tension (), measured in newtons, through the string, then we derive the following model:
(2)
Where is the mass of the object, measured in kilograms.
By applying (1) in (2), we have the following formula:
(3)
From where we conclude that tension is directly proportional to the radius and the square of frequency. Then, if radius and frequency are doubled, then the ratio between tensions is:
(4)
If both the radius and frequency are doubled, then the tension is increased 8 times.
