(text H8): An incense burner is attached to a small ring. The ring is supported by two strings. One string is altached to the ceiling. The other string passes over an ideal pulley (i.e. it is light and has frictionless) and carries a 1.00kg mass at its free end. To do this question you will need TWO FBDs ...one for the main ring and one for the mass. Think about the 3rd law.
(a) Calculate the magnitude of the three forces acting on the ring. (Ans: one rope is
12.aN, other rope 15.81N and weight of bumer is 13.4N)
(b) Calculate the mass of the incense burner. (Ans: 1.37kg)
Haplut hint This is a tough one. The first thing to hole is that you will need 2 FBD'sll One for the 1.00kg mass and one for the ring. The 1kg mass FBD can be used to figure out the tension in the string holding it. Due to Nowton's grit Law, that tension is the same tension in the 60 rope holding on to the right side of the ring. So start with the FBD for the 1kg mass and find the Tension in the string. Then use that value for the tension in the rightmost string when doing the FBD of the ring.
