Answer to Question #104010 in Mechanics | Relativity for Timothy marvellous

Question

A,B I a wood weighing 200N it is pivoted at A and held in suspension at B with an in extensible string calculate the tension in the string

Answer 1

Reading of the weighting machine = 200N

The string in the provide the reaction force to balance the weighting.

As per the newton's third rule, action force = reaction force

Hence, Tension force in the string = 200N
