    The document is a worksheet about calculating tensions in cables or cords based on the first condition of static equilibrium. It contains 6 problems involving objects of various masses suspended by cables or cords at different angles, asking to calculate tensions or masses. Key details include a tightrope walker of 60 kg causing a 6 degree sag, a 200 N mirrored sphere suspended by two cables, a traffic light at 10 degrees supported by a 1 kN cable, and various suspended masses and given tensions.

    Worksheet

    First Condition of Static Equilibrium

    1. A tightrope walker, who has a mass of 60.0 kg moves to the center of the wire, which
    causes the wire to sag and make a 6.0 angle with the horizontal, Calculate the tension in
    the wire.

    2. A mirrored sphere, weighing 200.0 N is suspended from the ceiling of a ballroom by two
    cables as shown in the diagram. What is the tension in each of these cables?

    3. A traffic light is supported by a cable that makes an angle of 10 with the horizontal on
    each side of the light. The maximum safe tension in cable is 1.0  103 N. What is the
    maximum safe mass for the light?

    4. Calculate the tension in the two cords that support the 500.0 N weight as shown in the
    diagram.
    5. Calculate the tension in the two cords that support the 4.50 kg mass as shown in the
    diagram.

    6. Calculate the mass of the suspended object, given the tension in the horizontal cord
    shown in the diagram is 400.0 N.
