Answer: option D) 42.4 N
The weight of the frame is balanced by the vertical component of tension.
W = T sin θ + T sin θ = 2 T sin θ
The tension in each cable is T = 30 N
Angle made by the cables with the horizontal, θ = 45°
⇒ W = 2×30 N × sin 45° = 2 × 30 N × 0.707 = 42.4 N
Hence, the weight of the frame is 42.4 N. Correct option is D.
HI!
Conventional vehicles use gasoline or diesel to power an internal combustion engine. Hybrids also
use an internal combustion engine—and can be fueled like normal
cars—but have an electric motor and battery, and can be partially or
wholly powered by electricity. Also pollute less and save the drivers money.
Good Day.
