(text H5): A simple pendulum is made by tying a block to a string and pulling the block sideways by a horizontal force, vec(P), as in the diagram shown. The block has a weight of 2.40N. vec(P) pulls the block until the string makes an angle =53.1 with the horizontal. The block is in static equilibrium. (hint: you will need a FBD and there are three forces acting on a)
a) Calculate the magnitude of the tension force in the string.
b) Calculate the magnitude of force P
c) Confirm your answers with a diagram to scale (i.e. tip-to-tail).
(Ans: 3.00N,1.80N)
