A 100.0-kg bakery sign hangs from two thin cables as shown. What is the tension in each cable?

1. T₁ = 500 N

2. T₂ = 866 N

Explanation:

Please see attached photo for the diagram.

Thus, we can obtain obtained the value of T₁ and T₂ as follow:

1. Determination of T₁

Angle θ = 30

Hypothenus = 100 kg

Opposite = T₁ =?

Sine θ = Opposite /Hypothenus

Sine 30 = T₁ / 100

Cross multiply

T₁ = 100 × Sine 30

T₁ = 100 × 0.5

T₁ = 50 Kg

Multiply by 10 to express in Newton

T₁ = 50 × 10

T₁ = 500 N

2. Determination of T₂

Angle θ = 60

Hypothenus = 100 kg

Opposite = T₂ = ?

Sine θ = Opposite /Hypothenus

Sine 60 = T₂ / 100

Cross multiply

T₂ = 100 × Sine 60

T₂ = 100 × 0.8660

T₂ = 86.6 Kg

Multiply by 10 to express in Newton

T₂ = 86.6 × 10

T₂ = 866 N

answer: option c. i.e. electric current flowing “downhill” from the negative electrode to the positive electrode in a battery

explanation:

the water analogy to the circuits define the pipes (water flows) to the electric current. now, we know that the electric current flows from the positive terminal to the circuit (as shown in the diagram attached).

hence, option c is the correct answer.

scientific laws are the result of testing theories and proving them to be facts.
