Question
For the system in equilibrium with a 200 N block on a 30° frictionless incline and a hanging block of unknown weight, what is the value of the tension T? (sin 30° = 0.5)
Correct Answer
Option C is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
The tension T equals the parallel component of the weight: T = 200 sin 30° = 200 * 0.5 = 100 N.
Hint
Calculate 200 multiplied by sin 30°.
