Question

A wooden block is suspended with the help of a string and it's free end is tied to the ceiling.what are the forces acting on it ?

Answer 1

Gravitational Force i think.........

Answer 2

Tension and gravitational force are acting on it.

• The following are the forces at work on a block that is suspended freely:

1. Gravitational force: The block is being pulled downward by the gravitational force.
2. Tension: When pulled by forces acting from opposing sides, tension is a force that is communicated by a rope, thread, or wire. When one of the block's sides is attached to the ceiling in the example question, tension is pulling on the block in the opposite direction as the gravitational force.

• There is gravity. The block experiences a gravitational force since it has mass.
• There is tension. The block is under tension since a taut string is attached to it.

Hence, the answer is tension and gravitational force.
