Question

a microphone has a weight W OF 6.0 N. it is suspended by wire X from the ceiling in a radio studio.
hint: the microphone held in the correct position by a horizontal wire Y.
A. the tension T in wire Y IS 8.0 n. use a vector diagram to determine the magnitude and the direction of the resultant of W and T.
b. the microphone is at rest. state the tension in wire X.

Answer 1

Answer:

let tension on wire X be T2 and a be angle made by wire x with horizontal

then

T2cos(a)=8.0N......(1)

T2sin(a)=6,0N....(2)

solving (1) and (2 ) you can find tension on wire X
