Ted wants to hang a wall clock on the wall by using a string. If the mass of the wall clock is 0. 250 kilograms, what should be the tension of the string so that it can sustain the weight of the wall clock?.

Sagot :

sum of all forces = mass * acceleration

Ft= tension force
Fw= force of gravity (Fw= mass* acceleration of gravity which is 9.8 this only applies to force of gravity)

Ft- Fw = 0 (there is no acceleration)
Ft = Fw
Ft= m*g
Ft= 0.250kg*9.8m/s
Ft= 2.45N
