(a)

What is the mass of the child and basket (in kg) if a scale reading of 73 N is observed?

kg

(b)

What is the tension T1 (in N) in the cord attaching the baby to the scale?

N

(c)

What is the tension T2 (in N) in the cord attaching the scale to the ceiling, if the scale has a mass of 0.480 kg?

N

(d)

Draw a sketch of the situation indicating the system of interest used to solve each part. The masses of the cords are negligible. (Submit a file with a maximum size of 1 MB.)

Explanation / Answer

T1=w=73 N

m=w/9.8=7.45 kg

(b)T1=73 N

(c)T2=T1+(0.48*9.8)

T2=77.704 N

(d) Sketch is already given above .Just Equalling force
