If the ropes are perfectly vertical AND both of them are indeed sharing the load,

then the tension in each rope is 5N. But it would be practically impossible to have

them exactly share the load, and one would wind up supporting most or all of it.

The best way to make them share is to use elastic ropes, like bungees. They still

would never share equally, but at least they would share. In any case, the

tensions in both support strands would always add up to 10N.

What happens to the vertical component of surface energy in Young's equation?

The vertical components of surface energy in Young's equation point in the same direction. They add up to balance the weight of the object. The weight must be lower than the surface tension can hold. The object must also not be wettable.

What is tension and compression?

Tension and compression takes place when an object has a force on another object. The tension is when the force is causing a pulling effect on part of the object. The compression is when the force is causing a contracting effect on part of the object.

Will a mL object remain suspended in tap water?

It depends on the object's density. If the object's density is greater than that of water (1 g/ml), it will sink. If it is less, it will float. It can be suspended in water. if the water is flowing fast enough. Whether it stays suspended depends on the shape of the object and the flow of water, much like how leaves can be suspended in the air.


What is the definition of vertical velocity?

Vertical means up and down; so the vertical velocity is an indication of how quickly an object is rising or falling. If the object is moving at an angle (such as an airplane taking off or landing) then it would be more accurate to call it the vertical component of the object's velocity.

How do you calculate tension of hanging object?

If the object hangs from a weightless string or thread, the tension in the thread is equal to the weight of the object. If there is weight distributed all the way from the ceiling to the bottom of whatever is hanging, then the tension at every point is equal to the weight of everything below that point.


Is thrust the same as tension force?

no..normal force is exists if only if the object is contact with the surface.But tension is exists when the object is hanged with string..But the magnitude might same as we consider weight of the object.When we solve the resultant force by resolve the vertical axis,the resultant force will be the value of normal force and tension.In general they may same but in some situation they might different.


The bisectors of two vertical angles will be collinear?
