Question

Explain the answer with words not only solving it 

An art piece consists of two metal balls suspended from a lightweight rod fixed by a
string to the ceiling, as shown in the picture below. The numbers above the rod
represent the relative lengths of each side of the rod on either end of the string
attaching it to the ceiling.
0.6 kg
If the mass of the metal ball on the left is 0.6 kg and the mass of the rod is negligible,
determine the mass of the ball on the right and the force the top string exerts on the
ceiling. Explain your process.
Adequate
The diagram contains no
errors and each force is
labeled so that it is clearly
understood what each force
represents.
2
Ability A5: Is able to construct a force diagram
Needs Work
Inadequate
FD contains no errors in
vectors but lacks a key
feature such as labels of
forces with two subscripts
or vectors are not drawn
from single point, or
components are drawn
instead of forces.
FD is constructed but
contains major errors such
as incorrect mislabeled or
not labeled force vectors,
length of vectors, wrong
direction, extra incorrect
vectors are added, or
vectors are missing.
Ability D7: Is able to choose a productive mathematical procedure for solving the problem
Needs Work
Inadequate
Correct and complete
mathematical procedure is
described but an error is
made in the calculations. All
units are consistent.
Adequate
Mathematical procedure is
fully consistent with the
design. All quantities are
calculated correctly with
proper units. Final answer is
meaningful.
Adequate
Explanation is clear,
detailed, and shows physical
and conceptual
understanding. Explains
both what was done and
why.
3
Explanation is slightly
unclear, missing some
minor information, covers
what was done but is
missing why it was done.
A mathematical procedure is
described, but is incorrect
or incomplete, due to which
the final answer cannot be
calculated. Or units are
inconsistent.
Missing
No representation is
constructed.
Ability F3: Is able to clearly explain their reasoning in words
Needs Work
Inadequate
Explanation is incoherent,
incomplete, confusing, or
inconsistent with the work
shown.
Missing
Mathematical procedure is
either missing, of the
equations written down are
irrelevant to the design.
Missing
No verbal explanation is
provided.
