Problem
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.
L
r
m
Solution
a)
Let us first derive the expression for the tension.
By Newton's First Law
ΣF 0
the components of force that makes this so is
ΣFT cosphi
mg
= 0
Simplifying this results to
T= m
g/ cos
Analyzing the figure above, we arrive at
(4) = sqrt( L
2
+ 2Lr
%3D
cos
+ |
By substitution, we arrive at the following:
T= m
( d
+ 2 L
)g/( 2
sqrt
( L
2 + 2Lr
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= 47
0.370 N
