Tarzan is testing the strength of a particular vine, which is 7 m long. As he is hanging on the vine, what is the magnitude of the tension force in the vine? (Assume that Tarzan's mass is 80 kg.)

Respuesta :

Answer:

the tension generated on the vine is equal to 784.8 N

Explanation:

As Tarzan is testing the strength of vine

to test the vine Tarzan hangs on it.

given,

mass of Tarzan  = 80 kg

acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

tension on the wire will be            

     T = m × g                    

     T = 80 kg × 9.81 m/s²                

     T = 784.8 kg.m/s²                

     T = 784.8 N                    

hence, the tension generated on the vine is equal to 784.8 N

Tension force is the force produced when a load is applied in a direction away. The magnitude of the tension force in the vine will be  784.8 N.

What is tension force?

Tension force is the force produced when a load is applied in a direction away from one or more ends of a material, usually to the cross-section of the material.

Tension is frequently described as a "pulling" force. To constitute a tension force, the load supplied to the material must be exerted axially.

The given data in the problem is;

m is the mass of Tarzan  = 80 kg

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

T is the tension on the wire +?

The tension of the wire is given by;

[tex]\rm T = m\times g \\\\ \rm T = 80\times 9.81 \\\\ \rm T =784.8 N[/tex]

Hence the magnitude of the tension force in the vine will be  784.8 N.
