A20 kg box is suspended from the ceiling by robe that weight of the rope is 1kg find the tension
54
10N
To find the tension in the rope, we need to consider the forces acting on the box. In this case, we have two forces: the weight of the box and the weight of the rope.
1. Weight of the box: The weight of an object is given by the product of its mass and the acceleration due to gravity. In this case, the mass of the box is 20 kg. Since the acceleration due to gravity is approximately 9.8 m/s², we can calculate the weight of the box as follows:
Weight of the box = mass of the box * acceleration due to gravity
= 20 kg * 9.8 m/s²
= 196 N
2. Weight of the rope: The weight of the rope is given as 1 kg. Using the same formula as above, we can calculate the weight of the rope:
Weight of the rope = mass of the rope * acceleration due to gravity
= 1 kg * 9.8 m/s²
= 9.8 N
Now, let's consider the forces acting on the box. The tension in the rope will be equal to the sum of the weight of the box and the weight of the rope:
Tension = Weight of the box + Weight of the rope
= 196 N + 9.8 N
= 205.8 N
Therefore, the tension in the rope is 205.8 N.
