Question
Please explain. Thank You.
In a museum exhibit, three equal weights are hung with identical wires, as shown in the figure. Each wire can support a tension of no more than 99.0N without breaking. Start each of the following parts with an appropriate free-body diagram. What is the maximum value that w can be without breaking any wires? Under these conditions, what is the tension in the top wire? Under these conditions, what is the tension in the middle wire? Under these conditions, what is the tension in the lowest wire?Explanation / Answer
a) top wire will have T = 3 w = 3 w = 99
w = 33 N
b) 99 N
c) 66 N
d) 33 N
