The adjacent figure is the part of a horizontally stretched net section $A B$ is stretched with a force of $10 \mathrm{~N}$. The tension in the seetion $B C$ and $B F$ are (a) $10 \mathrm{~N}, 11 \mathrm{~N}$ (b) $10 \mathrm{~N}, 6 \mathrm{~N}$ (c) $10 \mathrm{~N}, 10 \mathrm{~N}$ (d) Can't calculate due to insufficient data

Key Concepts

Tension in Cables or Ropes

Tension is the pulling force transmitted along cables, ropes, or net sections when forces are applied at their ends. In the context of stretched nets or strings, the tension helps distribute the applied load through the system. The analysis of tension is crucial when determining how a force applied at one point affects forces within connected components of the overall structure.

Force Resolution and Vector Components

Force resolution involves breaking down a force into its horizontal and vertical components using trigonometric functions. This method is particularly useful in systems where forces are applied at various angles, allowing for analysis of each component individually. It is a key concept when analyzing structures with intersecting or non-parallel net sections, as it helps determine how forces such as tension are distributed across different parts of the system.

Static Equilibrium

Static equilibrium is the state in which an object or system of objects is at rest, and the net force and net moment (torque) acting on it are zero. This principle is essential in analyzing the forces acting in structures such as nets, bridges, or cables to ensure that all applied forces are balanced, resulting in no acceleration of the system.
