Question

35. An object of mass m is suspended in air as shown in figure below. If the mass is in equilibrium, what will be the weight of the object? A.39N B.24N C.45N D.50N

Answer 1

I don't have the figure you mention, so I can't compute the answer yet. Could you either

- upload the figure image, or
- describe the arrangement (how many strings/forces, their angles to the vertical or horizontal, any given tensions or angles)?

General method to solve once I have the figure:
1. Draw a free-body diagram of the mass.
2. Resolve each supporting force into horizontal and vertical components.
3. Use equilibrium: sum of horizontal components = 0, sum of vertical components = 0.
- So the weight mg equals the sum of the upward vertical components of the supports.
4. Solve for mg (or m if needed) and pick the matching choice.

Send the figure or description and I’ll finish the calculation.
