A bag is gently pushed off the top of a wall at A and swings in a vertical plane at the end of a rope of length l. The angle θ for which the rope will break, is 41.81°
What is tension?
The tension is a kind of force which acts on linear objects when subjected to pull.
The maximum tension Tmax =2W
From the work energy principle,
T₂ = 1/2 mv²
Total energy before and after pushing off
0+mglsinθ = 1/2 mv²
v² = 2gflsinθ..............(1)
From the equilibrium of forces, we have
T= ma +mgsinθ = mv²/l +mgsinθ
2mg = mv²/l +mgsinθ
2g = v²/l +gsinθ
Substitute the value of v² ,we get the expression for θ
θ = sin⁻¹(2/3)
θ =41.81°
Hence, the angle θ for which the rope will break, is 41.81°
