A 45-kg child sits on a 3.2-kg tire swing. What is the tension in the rope that hangs from a tree branch?

Sagot :

Answer:

472.36 N

Explanation:

The total mass with the tire and child would be 45 kg + 3.2 kg = 48.2 kg

Ft = force tension

Fg = force of gravity

Fnet=0 (because child is motionless and not accelerating)

0 = Ft - Fg

Ft = Fg

Ft = m*g

Ft = 48.2 kg * 9.8 m/s^2

Ft = 472.36 N

Hope this helps!!
