If a child of mass 36.8 kg sits in a seat, what is the tension in the chain (for the same angle)?

Answer in units of N.





Radius= 7.162

Velocity=7.432

Angle= 38.2

Gravity= 9.8

If a child of mass 36 8 kg sits in a seat what is the tension in the chain for the same angle Answer in

Answer :

Final answer:

The tension in the chain for a child of mass 36.8 kg sitting in a seat is approximately 238.92 N.

Explanation:

In order to find the tension in the chain, we can use the formula:

Tension = (mass * velocity^2) / radius - mass * gravity * cos(angle)

Using the given values:

Tension = (36.8 kg * (7.432 m/s)^2) / 7.162 m - 36.8 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * cos(38.2°)

After substituting the values, we find that the tension in the chain is approximately 238.92 N
