Question

A Painting is on the wall using 2 strings, hanging perpendicular to the floor. 5 The strings have a tension force of 490N each, what is the mass of the hanged painting?​

Answer 1

100 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Two strings are used to hang the painting means the total weight of the painting is split into 2 the two string.

Each string has tension 490 N this means the total weight of the painting is

`w=490* 2=980\ \text{N}`

The tension of both the strings combimed will be the weight of the painting

Weight is given by

`w=mg`

where,

m = Mass of the object

g = Acceleration due to gravity =
`9.8\ \text{m/s}^2`

Here

w = 980 N

`980=m* 9.8\\\Rightarrow m=(980)/(9.8)\\\Rightarrow m=100\ \text{kg}`

So, mass of the painting is 100 kg.
