A solid uniform ball with mass m and diameter d is supported against a vertical frictionless wall by a thin massless wire of length L. a) Find the tension in the wire.

 

Solution

a)

Let us first derive the expression for the tension.

By Newton's First Law

ΣF = ______

the components of force that makes this so is

ΣF = T ______ - ______ = 0

Simplifying this results to

T = ______g/______(ϕ)

Analyzing the figure above, we arrive at

______(ϕ) = sqrt( ______2 +______  ) / (______ /______ +______  )

By substitution, we arrive at the following:

T = ______ ( ______ + 2 ______ ) g / ( ______ sqrt ( ______2 + ______ ) )

If the ball has a mass of 45 kg and diameter 32 cm, while the wire has a length of 30 cm. The tension is equal to

T = ______
