the object hung from the cable has a weight of 25 N. write the equation for the sum of the forces in the y-direction. what is the tension i nthe cable? has a 30 degree angle. how do i do this pleasee help i don't understand at all!

Answer 1

The equation for the sum of the forces in the y-direction is Fy = 25N - T, where T is the tension in the cable.

To solve for the tension in the cable, you need to use the equation T = mgsinθ, where m is the mass of the object, g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s2), and θ is the angle of the cable (30 degrees).

Therefore, the tension in the cable is T = (25N/9.8 m/s2)sin30° = 13.2 N.
