A picture frame hung against a wall is suspended by two wires attached to its upper corners. If the two wires make the same angle with the vertical. (Draw a free body diagram)
To draw a free-body diagram for the picture frame hanging against a wall, we will need to identify the forces acting on the frame.
Here's how you can do it:
1. Start by drawing a rectangle to represent the picture frame.
2. Next, draw two lines representing the wires and attach them to the upper corners of the frame. The wires should be at an angle with the vertical, as mentioned in the question.
Now, we can identify the forces acting on the frame:
1. Gravity: Draw a downward arrow from the center of the frame to represent the force of gravity acting on the frame. Label it as "Weight" or "W".
2. Tension in the wires: Draw two arrows along the wires, pointing towards the frame, to represent the tension forces in the wires. Label them as "T1" and "T2" for easy reference.
Note that the tension forces in the wires will have both horizontal and vertical components. The horizontal components will cancel each other out because the wires are at the same angle with the vertical.
Make sure to label all the forces on the diagram accordingly.
