A 1.50×103 kg car, whose front is facing to the right (towards +x-axis) and whose engine is turned off and in neutral, is held at rest on a frictionless ramp using a cable whose one end is attached to the car’s front at an angle 27.0◦ with respect to the ramp’s surface. The other end of the cable is attached to a wall perpendicular to the horizontal and the ramp is raised 30.0◦ above the horizontal. c. Suppose the wall where the other end of the cable was attached was replaced by a rotating motor. If the car is now accelerating towards the peak of the ramp at 3.00 m/s2 due to the rotating motor, how much tension is being exerted by the cable on the car?
Rotational Equilibrium And Rotational Dynamics
In physics, the state of balance between the forces and the dynamics of motion is called the equilibrium state. The balance between various forces acting on a system in a rotational motion is called rotational equilibrium or rotational dynamics.
Equilibrium of Forces
The tension created on one body during push or pull is known as force.
