A 1.2 kg mass is suspended from the ceiling by a string. A second horizontal string holds the mass at rest next to the wall. The angle between the string and the ceiling is 65o. What is the tension force in the horizontal rope

Answer:

The tension in the horizontal string is 25.2 N.

Explanation:

mass, m = 1.2 kg

Angle, A = 65 degree

The tension in the string is T.

So, T cos A = m g

T x cos 65 =  1.2 x 9.8

T x 0.4226 = 11.76

T = 27.83 N

Tension in the horizontal string, T' = T sin A = 27.83 x sin 65 = 25.22 N

Answer:

Explanation:

See the figure attached . T₁ and T₂ are tension in the inclined and horizontal string .

The vertical component of T₁ will balance weight and horizontal component will balance the tension T₂.

T₁ sin 65 = mg and T₁ cos 65 = T₂

Dividing ,

Tan 65 = mg / T₂

T₂ = mg / tan 65

= 1.2 x 9.8 / 2.1445

= 5.5 N
