The formula for calculating tension in a rope is T = mg + ma, where T is tension, m is the mass of the object attached to the rope, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and a is the acceleration of the object. How do you determine the mass of the object in the tension calculat...
Use our tension calculator to learn the tension formula and to calculate tension in ropes and strings for various physics problems.
To find the tension in the rope, the formula F=ma is used, along with the normal force and the relationship between the resistive force and the normal force. A free-body diagram can also be helpful in visualizing the forces involved. ...
For a system of two masses hanging from a vertical pulley, tension equals 2g(m1)(m2)/(m2+m1), where "g" is the acceleration of gravity, "m1" is the mass of object 1, and "m2" is the mass of object 2.[6] Note that, usually, physics problems assume ideal pulleys - massless,...
Apply the x=ut+0.5at2 formula here. Similarly, Kinetic Energy of 3kg block= 0.5*3*100/9= 50/3 Potential Energy= 3g(h-5/3) Total Energy= 5gh -2.5 + 25+50/3. Energy is not conserved if your assumption, that the tension is equal to the weight of the other mass, is true. Ergo...
