What Force exerted by a rope on a 10kg mass that is hanging from the rope?

Force = mass X gravity therefore, 10 X 9.8 = 98 N ==================== -- Assuming that this is all happening near the earth, the 10 kg mass weighs 98 newtons. That means the force of gravity on it is 98 newtons, pointing straight down. -- Since it's just hanging there motionless and not accelerating either up or down, the net vertical force on it must be zero. -- The only other force on it besides gravity is the tension in the rope. -- In order for all the vertical forces on it to add up to zero, the tension in the rope must be exactly equal and opposite to the force of gravity ... 98 newtons pointing straight up.


What is the tension in a roper that is supporting a 4.2 kg bucket?

If the rope is hanging vertical ... one end from the ceiling and the other end to the bucket ... then the tension in the rope is 41.16 newtons (9.26 pounds).


How much tension if the bag is supported by 7 vertical strands That is how much tension is exerted in each strand Answer in units of N?

Assuming that all strands are vertical/ parallel to gravity and equally spaced (on a radius) around the centre of gravity then tension on each strand will be equivalent to weight x 9.81 divided by 7 equals tension in Newtons. If the strands are not normal and/or at varying distances from centre of gravity then it becomes a little more complicated. Summ of tension on strands must equal weight of bag. Tension on each strand is a ratio of it's distance from the COG of the furthest most strand. Don't forget the further from perpendicular a strand is the more tension on the strand.

What is a synonym for compress?

In physics, tension is the magnitude of the pulling force exerted by a string, cable, chain, or similar object on another object. It is the opposite of compression. As tension is a force, it is measured in newtons (or sometimes pounds-force) and is always measured parallel to the string on which it applies.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tension_(physics)
