Wow, wow, I never knew all these concepts are so logical and I guess that`s the problem with most of nowadays teachers, they just fill the table wih formulas without telling us where it all came from... But you sir, you mannage to do this and I must say: "Thank you a lot, sir!" :)
@@josephjithu8484 well not everyone is as smart as Einstein.. but I bet even he would appreciate this type of teaching because this demonstrate his own principle that if you can't explain a subject, no matter how complex, so that even a child can understand the basic concept then you did not understand it well enough or something like that... Here in this video is an example of someone who knows how to explain so that even the least intellectually gifted person can understand
AP Physics got me like “A student is going to hang himself because of the overwhelming topic that he fails every test and paper in. He is trying to find a rope that can support his weight. The student weighs 50kg. What is the tension of the rope?”
Very well explained. Tension can seem like some abstract thing, but it's really just a force, and often students aren't made aware of that until they see real-life examples.
For future reference, at 8:50, to solve T1 1/2= 100, you have to get the T alone. So to do that you have to cancel out the 1/2 and the way to do that is to do the opposite of division, because 1/2 you are dividing, if you were multiplying you would divide, so you multiply with the recipricle of 1/2 which is 2. So what you do to one side you do to the other, 2 * 100 = 200. T=200
What this guy do is a really good job. If you can help someone out, you are a good person. But if you help people all over the world, you are like an angel.
You are completely correct. As sin(angle) approaches 0, the number becomes infinitely small, in other worlds, [100N]/[Very small number ] = Extremely large number. So at 0 degrees, in order to keep the string taut under the weight, it will require infinite tension no matter how small the weight is. Think about this. Get a string. Make it horizontal and straight. It will NEVER be perfectly straight and taut due to gravity pulling the middle section down, no matter how hard you tense it.
I always wondered does the maximum tension of a rope change depending on the length of the rope? Obviously, the material of the rope has to be the same in both cases, but can longer rope hold more weight than a shorter rope?
Ur a great teacher,,,,u make it simple and clear unlike my teacher in physics who just make get a hard time in solving a tension n' frictions,,i like it so much...thanks a lot from timor-lete..
I think the force is distributed throughout the whole rope so it could, like how a larger pot of water take more heat to boil because the thermal energy is distributed through more water, a larger rope has more area to distribute the force so it could handle greater forces before breaking. Idk for sure though...
@grandprix1110 i realized why i was getting the question wrong... the calculator wasn't in degrees, so each time i would use sine and cosine the answer would be wrong because my calculator wasn't on the degrees setting... FML
So with a 100N weight and the angle T1 makes being 30 degrees, the tension in the T1 string is 200N (100/(sin30) = 100N/(1/2) = (2)(100N) = 200N). I understand that. Now, this happens to be double the weight of the original weight (100N). Does this mean that as the angles T1 makes approaches 0 degrees (horizontal), the tension in the T1 string approaches infinity? If so or not, why? And if so, why is the tension in T2 not infinity by this logic?
@rnichols16 that gets confusing for me too, but if you we're to multiply 100 by (1/2) it would be 50, but you were dividing in this case. 100/(1/2) is the same as 100 times the reciprocal of (1/2) which is 2.
Physics is full of calc: Uniform Force = (mass)x(acceleration), and (acceleration) = (Rate of change of velocity)... Anyone taking basic calc (derivatives) recognizes "Rate of change" meaning "Derivative of". Momentum = (mass)(velocity) and Kinetic Energy = (1/2)(mass)(velocity)^2. Users of integral calc recognize that w/ constant mass (both equations are), kinetic energy=integral of momentum. Physics is full of calc, but if you don't know calc you can memorize and muddle through.
It's the idea...Equilibrium should mean that the object is not accelerating and to the that all the forces must be equal to zero either to keep the object stationary or moving in a constant motion.
Hmmm... I think if you do not consider the rotation velcoity of earth then yeah, but since the direction of rotation is constantly changing then velcoity of earth is constantly changing, therefore it exerts its effect onto us, but since the system and us observing it have the same velcoity at every point on the Earth s surface, we say it's in equilibrium, as we consider that velocity as constant.
This video made me understand this concept a lot better. I do have a question though. Sal used a triangle to the right of the T_1y vector. Couldn't he have used the same triangle on the other side of the vector where the side parallel to the y component would've been straight up from the weight? The angle is the same as he stated, and the use of sin is still the same because the y component is still the opposite side from the angle.
the reason he used trig is to help apply the concept of conceptual thinking and help you understand whats going on and why the things work- the pythagorean theorem would be able to do that - but that would get the right answer- but good thinking bkisme
I thought it was pretty good. Do another problem where something is hanging from one string and then it has a rope attached to the left 15 degree below the horizontal and then a rope from the right with a 25 degree angle. The tension on the rope to the left is 500N. Whats the tension on the 25 degree rope? Something like that.
@sk8rlt Thats where the problem is i understand the concept yet i don't know what is going on that im getting wrong. I love math and one of the reasons is that i've realized that in math if i get an answer wrong i can just retrace my steps and find that one small addition error or maybe a negative sign i forgot to place at some point or another, but in physics that's not the case. I can't seem to find any errors in what i'm doing and therers so many steps its just overwhelming.
anybody else notice that the intro to this video compared to the ending of the last sounded like Sal was recording in his closet trying not to wake up his wife and kid XD. This guy is seriously incredible though.
wait, sal i'm confused on the second part of the problem, the t2 cosine, for some reason when i did it I got t2 = 200 root 3 over 3...... how did you get your answer? btw i love you videos, you get me A's in all my penn state courses. You rock.
Bro when something is accelerating downwards the our it experience a pseudoforce upwards as a rest the the next load on the body decreases And hence the tension also decreases as it is a self adjusting force

There is no tension because there is no rope.
400N (100N loss of brain cells)
The minimum tension that the rope can experience is 490 N,thus the tension will be 490 N upwards.(equilibrium)
Victor Prentice I agree with you

would you call the tension the reaction force of the weight of the block?
or is it a seperate force and will have its own reaction force?
no its reaction force i hope i was helpful

Hey, can anyone explain why when something is accelerating down, you subtract that acceleration from gravity in the equation of tension?
Ryan Cross because gravity is negative and the acceleration is also negative
Bro when something is accelerating downwards the our it experience a pseudoforce upwards as a rest the the next load on the body decreases
And hence the tension also decreases as it is a self adjusting force
Shouldnt the force of gravity be 9.8 m/s? Instead of 100 N?
@grandprix1110 it's just simple physics bro... You have to get the concept then you will understand everything.
why cos 30 only was taken in the last step...
