Problem 30P
A 0.16-kg meter stick is held perpendicular to a vertical wall by a 2.5-m string going from the wall to the far end of the stick. (a) Find the tension in the string. (b) If a shorter string is used, will its tension be greater than, less than, or the same as that found in part (a)? (c) Find the tension in a 2.0-m string.

Problem 30P
A 0.16-kg meter stick is held perpendicular to a vertical wall by a 2.5-m string going from the wall to the far end of the stick. (a) Find the tension in the string. (b) If a shorter string is used, will its tension be greater than, less than, or the same as that found in part (a)? (c) Find the tension in a 2.0-m string.
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 6
The objective here is to first determine the magnitude of the tension in the string held between the meter stick and the wall. Then we have to determine and calculate the variation in the tension, if we use a shorter string instead of the first one.
