Question 81
XE-DNAT2 marksNeeds review
A steel ball of mass m = 10 kg is suspended from the ceiling of a moving carriage by two inextensible strings making 60° with the horizontal as shown. The carriage has an acceleration a such that the tension in the string on the right is double the tension in the string on the left. Take the acceleration due to gravity (g) as 10 m/s
. The acceleration a (in m/s
) is_____(rounded off to one decimal place).
