A mass of 20 kg is suspended from two strings of length 10 cm and 12 cm, the ends of the strings being attached to two points in a horizontal line, 15 cm apart. Find the tension in each string.

Step 1
We have a mass of 20 kg suspended from two strings of different lengths (10 cm and 12 cm), and the points where the strings are attached are 15 cm apart on a horizontal line. We need to find the tension in each string. Show more…

Two bodies of masses 10 kg and 20 kg, respectively, kept on a smooth, horizontal surface are tied to the ends of a light string. A horizontal force F = 600 N is applied to body of mass 10 kg. What is the tension in the string in each case?

A block of mass M = 15 kg is suspended at rest by two strings attached to walls, as shown in the figure. The left string is horizontal and the right string makes an angle θ = 50° with the horizontal. What is the tension in the left string? (Assume the ring where the strings come together is massless.) Tleft =
