A charged sphere of mass 2.8 kg is suspended from a string an electric force acts horizontally on the sphere so that the string makes angle 33 degree with vertical when at rest find magnitude of electric force and tension in string

Force, F = 17.82 N

T = 32.72 N

Explanation:

The mass of the sphere, m = 2.8 kg

Angle made by the string with the vertical, θ = 33°

The force, F, is said to act horizontally on the sphere, and the string makes angle 33° with the vertical. Check the free body diagram for the representation of the situation that is described.

Weight of the sphere, W = mg

W = 2.8 * 9.8

W = 27.44 N

Sin θ = F/T

sin 33 = F/T............(1)

cos θ = W/T

cos 33 = 27.44/T

T = 27.44/cos 33

T = 32.72 N

Put the value of T into equation (1)

sin 33 = F/32.72

F = 32.72 sin 33

F = 17.82 N

The magnitude of the Tension in the string = 32.72 N

The magnitude of the electric force on the ball = 17.82 N

Explanation:

The sketch of the free body diagram for the question is presented in the attached image to this solution.

Doing a force balance on the charged ball of sphere,

- T represents the tension in the string which acts away from the ball at angle 33° to the vertical. The tension can be split into a horizontal and a vertical component (Tₓ and Tᵧ respectively).

- Electric force, F, on the charged ball of sphere which acts horizontally to balance the the horizontal component of the tension in the string.

- The weight of the ball, W, which acts vertically downwards and balances the vertical component of the Tension.

Resolving the tension into the horizontal and vertical component

Tₓ = T sin 33° = (0.5446T) N

Tᵧ = T cos 33° = (0.8387T) N

W = mg = 2.8 × 9.8 = 27.44 N

(g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²)

Tᵧ = W

0.8387T = 27.44

T = (27.44/0.8387) = 32.72 N

F = Tₓ

F = 0.5446T = 0.5446 × 32.72 = 17.82 N

The magnitude of the Tension in the string = 32.72 N

The magnitude of the electric force on the ball = 17.82 N

Hope this Helps!!!

carbon is found in all living things. carbon atoms move constantly through

living organisms, the oceans, the atmosphere, and the earth’s crust in what is

known as the carbon cycle. the directions taken by carbon atoms through this

cycle are very complicated and can take millions of years to make a full circle.

all animals, from humans to the dinosaurs are part of the carbon cycle. when

animals eat food, they get carbon in the form of carbohydrates and proteins.

in animals, oxygen combines with food in the cells to produce energy for daily

activity and then gives off carbon. the carbon combines with oxygen to form

carbon dioxide (co2) and is released back into the atmosphere as a waste

product when animals breathe and exhale.

from 145-65 million years ago, earth was much

hotter than today and covered with dense,

tropical swamp forests. the trees and other

plants were immense and

provided an endless supply of

food for the giant animals that

roamed the land. somewhere in

the air above one of these

forests, a lone carbon atom has joined

up with two oxygen atoms to form a molecule of co2.

the co2 molecule was sucked into the tiny holes (stomata) on the leaf of a

fern plant and joined with sunlight, chlorophyll and water to make food and

energy in the plant’s cells through photosynthesis. the oxygen (o2) from the

co2 molecule was sent back into the atmosphere; the carbon atom (c) was

detached and used to make a molecule of sugar.

if that carbon atom had been eaten instead, a totally

different situation would have developed. let’s say

that a giant plant-eating dinosaur (herbivore) ate the

fern for breakfast, and swallowed the carbon in the

fern in the form of carbohydrates and proteins. in

the process of respiration, oxygen combined with

the carbohydrates and proteins in the dinosaur’s cells

to provide energy for its daily activity.  

you cant move and you feel like someones pushing you down onto your bed it can feel like you want to get up but you just can't it can be extremely scary
