Chapter 5: Q 2. (page 127)

A chandelier hangs from a chain in the middle of a dining

room. Identify the forces on the chandelier.

Short Answer

Expert verified

two forces are there tension and weight

Step by step solution

01

Step 1.Given information

Here given that a chandelier is hanging in the middle of dining room with help of chain. then asked to find the which type of forces are applied on it.

02

Step 2

To identify the the forces first draw the free body diagram of this situation and then decided the applied forces.

in above diagram shown that there are two forces acting on chandelier one is tension force and other one is weight force because here object is hanging on wall with help of chain. there is no other forces are present.

here tension force is applied because it is help to object pulling up against gravity to hanging.
