Tension = mass(acceleration) + force of gravity

Force of gravity equals mass times gravity (9.8m/s2)

What force of a hanging light does not move because the force of gravity pulling down is balanced in the cord pulling it up?

The tension force in the cord that is pulling the light up is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the force of gravity pulling the light down. This balance of forces causes the light to remain stationary in its position.


How to calculate the magnitude of the tension of a string?

Calculate the magnitude of the tension in a string by drawing a free body diagram, and then using the formula T = mg + ma.You can calculate the magnitude of the tension in a string by first drawing a Free body diagram, and then using the formula T = mg + ma.


What is the purpose of a cord restraint?

A cord restraint helps to prevent tension that is placed on a flexible cord from pulling on the conductors inside it. The simplest cord restraint is a clamp that firmly holds cords in place as they enter or exit a box of some kind. But more often the term cord restraint refers to a thing made of wire that gets tighter on the cord as tension is placed on it.


What is the magnitude of the tension in the string when the ball is at the bottom of the circle?

The magnitude of the tension in the string at the bottom of the circle is equal to the sum of the gravitational force acting on the ball and the centripetal force required to keep the ball moving in a circular path.


What will happen if spinal cord is transected?

you will be paralyzed, but depending on the magnitude it MAY re-heal


What does it mean when there is no tension in the starter pull cord of a lawnmower?

the recoil spring is broken.


Is tension a scalar or vector?

tension is a vector!(At first I thought it was a scalar too but this afternoon it was in our physics quiz,I answered scalar but I got it wrong because tension is a vector).this is the explanation:tension is the force producing such deformation.anything with force is a vector.Force always has direction.


Your 2000 Jetta Hood opener wont open how do you fix it?

The cord that provides tension is not in place. Once you get the hood up, and the grill off, there is a ball attached to the cord; it fits into the bottom half of the lock mechanism and should then provide tension to get the lock to pop.


How do you describe tension?

in this propbam: a 200kg mass is hanging from a hook conected to a pully, the cord around the fully is connected to the over head support at two points, what us the tension in the cords connected to the support if the angle of the cord from the vertical is: A) 0 degrees B) 5 C)15


How do the tension of the cord and the force of gravity affect a pendulum?

The tension in the cord provides the restoring force that makes the pendulum swing back and forth. The force of gravity acts on the mass of the pendulum, contributing to its acceleration. Both factors influence the period and amplitude of the pendulum's motion.


What is the tension if A utility pole is 10m in height and weights 2000lbs. the cord to hold the pole is 5 meter away. Therefore think of it as right triangle?

A utility pole is 10m in height and weights 2000lbs. the cord to hold the pole is 5 meter away. Therefore think of it as right triangle the height is 10m and the length is 5m. What is the hypotenuse and angle? What is the tension needed for the cord to keep the pole straight. (The cord is the hypotenuse).


How can I learn how to tie elastic cord effectively?
