Answer to Question #168321 in Physics for Kristen Lee

Question

Two ropes hang a tire with a mass of 15 kg. One rope is parallel to the ground the other rope makes an angle that is 25 degrees from vertical. A child with a mass of 40 kg hangs from the bottom of the tire. Draw the free body diagram of the tire.

Answer 1

Here:

$m_t\mathbf{g}$ - is the gravity force that acts on the tire.

$m_c\mathbf{g}$ - is the weight of the cild.

$\mathbf{T}_1$ is the tension force from the parallel wire.

$\mathbf{T}_2$ is the tension force from another wire.
