A car of mass 45.1 kg is pulled with a constant acceleration 3.23 m/s^2 along a horizontal frictionless floor by a wire that makes an angle of 23.8 degrees above the horizontal. What is the tension in the wire?
Added by Pedro G.
Step 1
The force of tension in the wire can be resolved into two components: one along the horizontal direction and one along the vertical direction. The horizontal component of the tension force will accelerate the car, while the vertical component will cancel out the Show more…

A block of mass m1 = 3.40 kg on a frictionless plane inclined at an angle θ = 26.6° is connected by a cord over a massless, frictionless pulley to a second block of mass m2 = 2.36 kg hanging vertically (see the figure). (a) What is the acceleration of the hanging block (choose the positive direction down)? (b) What is the tension in the cord?

A 30.6 kg mass (m) is suspended by the cable assembly as shown in the figure. The cables have no mass of their own. The cable to the left (T1) of the mass makes an angle of 0.00° with the horizontal, and the cable to the right (T2) makes an angle (θ2) of 36.4°. If the mass is at rest, what is the tension in each of the cables, T1 and T2? The acceleration due to gravity is g = 9.81 m/s².
