Question 6 2 pts You use two rubber bands, side to side first, to hold an object. Then, the bands are pulled apart in their free ends so that they are not vertical anymore. Compare the forces on the bands, in this situation, to the original case, when there was no angle, and the bands are side by side. The tension (forces) in the bands are now: ( The same as in the original case since they are still holding the same object. () Larger than in the original case. If they were the same, they will not have a large enough vertical component. ) Larger than in the original case. This is because they were pull aside to reach this new configuration. ) Smaller than in the original case. Separating them releases some of the tension in them. Smaller than in the original case. The horizontal component of the forces is more effective in pulling the weight of the object. Smaller equal or larger. All cases are possible, the answer depends on the exact angle of separation
