Consider the baby being weighed in Figure 4.25.

Figure 4.25

(a) What is the mass of the child and basket if a scale reading of 104 N is observed?
kg
(b) What is the tension T in the cord attaching the child to the scale?
N
(c) What is the tension T' in the cord attaching the scale to the ceiling, if the scale has a mass of 0.500 kg?
N
(d) Draw a sketch of the situation indicating the system of interest used to solve each part. The masses of the cords are negligible. (Do this on paper. Your instructor may ask you to turn in this work.)

The mass and tension due to the system are as follows:

  • The mass of the child and scale = 10.6 kg
  • The tension T, in the cord attaching the child to the scale = 104N
  • The tension T', in the cord attaching the scale to the ceiling T' = 108.9 N

What is tension?

Tension is a type of pulling force due transmitted by means of a string or cable.

Force = mass * acceleration due to gravity

a) The mass of the child and scale = 104/9.81 = 10.6 kg

b) The tension T, in the cord attaching the child to the scale = scale reading = 104N

c) The tension T', in the cord attaching the scale to the ceiling = scale reading + weight of scale

T' = 104 + (0.5 * 9.81)

T' = 108.9 N

d) The sketch is attached in the picture

In conclusion, the tension is force exerted on the cord due to the weight of the scale and the baby.
