FET-Grade 1 QUESTION 2 A 20 kg block hangs vertically from a ceiling where it is suspended by two ropes. A force T1 is applied horizontally east at point A to ensure that the system is at equilibrium. The rope makes an angle 0 to rope T2 with a magnitude of 392N as indicated below. e T2=392N T 1 20 Kg 2.1 Explain what is meant by the underlined phrase above? (2) 2.2 Calculate the: 2.2.1 Weight of the block (2) 2.2.2 Magnitude of Tension T1 (4) 2.3 Three vectors A, B & C with magnitudes of 65N, 95N at an angle of 20 to the vertical and 80N at an angle of 350 to the horizontal respectively acts on point P as indicated below. The diagram is not drawn to scale. B= 95N 120 0 35 0 - A = 75N 65N C = 80N Calculate the: 2.3.1 Vertical component of C (2) 2.3.2 Horizontal component of B ( 2 ) 2.3.3 Magnitude of the resultant vector acting at point P ( 4 ) [16] Copyright reserved Please turn over
