Class Management Help Hw 4 N2L Begin Date: 2/3/2018 12:00:00 AM -- Due Date: 2/11/2018 11:59:00 PM End Date: 5/31/2018 12:00:00 AM (696) Problem 4: Consider a bowling ball of mass M attached to two ropes. The bowling ball is in equilibrium, with one rope tied to the ceiling and the second rope pulling horizontally. Refer to the figure on the right. How is the tension T2 related to the weight of the bowling ball? T2 is greater than the bowling ball's weight. T2 is greater than Ti T2 is equal to the bowling balls's weight. 72 is less than the bowling balls's weight. T2 is less than T1 Submit Hint Feedback I give up!Explanation / Answer
For the balancing we have the following expressions -
T2*sin theta = M*g
=> T2 = M*g*( 1 / sin theta)
=> T2 > M*g (ball weight)
T2*cos theta = T1
Based on the above relations -
Option (i) is correct.
