Question

Ted wants to hang a wall clock on the wall by using a string. if the mass of the wall clock is 0.250 kilograms, what should be the tension of the string so that it can sustain the weight of the wall clock? a. 0.245 newtons b. 2.45 newtons c. 0 newtons d. 4.90 newtons e. 0.120 newtons

Answer 1

B. 2.45 Newtons

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a tension force problem with only tension and the weight force acting on the object. Using Newton's second law F=ma, and there being no acceleration in the system, T-w=0. Using this, T=w. w=mg, therefore (.250kg)(9.8m/s^2) = 2.45 Newtons
