ANSWER:
D) centripetal acceleration.
STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:
When a body performs a uniform circular motion, the direction of the velocity vector changes at every instant. This variation is experienced by the linear vector, due to a force called centripetal, directed towards the center of the circumference that gives rise to the centripetal acceleration.
Therefore, the answer is centripetal acceleration.
Answer:
392 N
Explanation:
Draw a free body diagram of the rod. There are four forces acting on the rod:
At the wall, you have horizontal and vertical reaction forces, Rx and Ry.
At the other end of the rod (point X), you have the weight of the sign pointing down, mg.
Also at point X, you have the tension in the wire, T, pulling at an angle θ from the -x axis.
Sum of the moments at the wall:
∑τ = Iα
(T sin θ) L − (mg) L = 0
T sin θ − mg = 0
T = mg / sin θ
Given m = 20 kg and θ = 30.0°:
T = (20 kg) (9.8 m/s²) / (sin 30.0°)
T = 392 N
