Answer to Question #138089 in Mechanics | Relativity for Subhan

Question

. A chandelier of 10 kg hangs from a cord attached to the ceiling, and a second chandelier
of 3.0 kg hangs from a cord below the first (see the figure below). Draw the ‘free-body’
diagram for the first chandelier and the ‘free-body’ diagram for the second chandelier.
Find the tension in each of the cords.

Answer 1

$T_2=m_2g=30 (N)$

$F=m_2g=30(N)$

$T_1=m_1g+F=(m_1+m_2)g=130 (N)$

Answer: T₁=130 N, T₂=30 N.
