Question

A metal alloy rod is submerged 22 cm below the surface of a fresh water pool by steel cables tied 10cm from each end. It has a length of 110 cm, a mass of 2 kg and a uniform square cross sectional area of 7 cm2. Because its density is not uniform its center of mass is located 49 from the left end.

1.) What is the force of tension in the left cable?
2.) What is the force of tension in the right cable?

Answer 1

force of tension in the left cable = 7.66N

force of tension in the right cable = 5.074N
