Two packing crates of masses 10.0 kg and 5.00 kg are connected by a light string that passes over a frictionless pulley. The 5.00-kg crate lies on a smooth incline of angle 40.0?. Find the acceleration of the 5.00-kg crate and the tension in the string.
A bird is resting on a light wire midway between two poles, 30 m apart. Because of the weight of the bird, the wire sags 0.50 m, as shown. The tension in the wire is 70 N. What is the force of gravity on the bird? |
