Question

If an 800 N man hangs motionless from 4 vertical strands of rope, then the tension in each strand of rope is? For 5 points. Show your solution.

Answer 1

Answer:

What collective name was given to the demons Vidyunmali, Tarakaksha and Viryavana?

Answer 2

Given:

Force = 800N

number of strand = 4

To Find:

Tension in each strand

Solution:

We know,

800 N man hangs motionless as tension force is acting on the oppsite direction in the rope

T = tension in one rope

Total tension force = T+T+T+T = 4T

since, Tension balances 800N

4T  = 800 N

T = 200 N

So, the tension in each strand of rope is 200N.
