Answer: A treasure chest full of silver and gold coins is being lifted from a pirate ship to the shore using two ropes as shown in the figure. The mass of the treasure chest is 75.6 kg. The tension in Rope A is 7.42x10^2 N, and the tension Rope B carries is 7.52x10^2 N. Then, the tension in rope C is 376N
Explanation: To find the correct answer, we have to know more about the Basic forces that acts upon a body.
What is force and which are the basic forces that acts upon a body?
- A push or a pull which changes or tends to change the state or rest, or motion of a body is called Force.
- Force is a polar vector as it has a point of application.
- Positive force represents repulsion and the negative force represented attraction.
- There are 3 main forces acting on a body, such as, weight mg, normal reaction N, and the Tension or pulling force.
How to solve the problem?
[tex]T_A=7.42*10^2N\\T_B=7.54*10^2N[/tex]
- From the free body diagram, we get Tension in the rope C as,
[tex]T_C=T_B sin30\\thus,\\T_C=7.52*10^2*0.5=376N[/tex].
Thus, we can conclude that the tension in the rope c will be 376N.
