Pulling the string on a bow back with a force of 29.0 lb, an archer prepares to shoot an arrow. if the archer pulls in the center of the string, and the angle between the two halves is 128 degrees , what is the tension in the string?

The tension in the string 33.08 lb.

Explanation:

Step 1

Consider the forces acting where the arrow is held. The string has a tension T on both sides of the arrow inclined 64 degrees to the horizontal.

The sum of all the forces in the x-directions is:

∑F_x = T cos(Ф₁) + T cos(Ф₂)

Since Ф₁ = Ф₂ = 64°, the sum of all the forces in the x-direction will be

∑F_x = 2T cos(64°)

The sum of all the forces in the y-directions is:

∑F_y = T sin(Ф₁) + T sin(Ф₂)  

Since Ф₁ = Ф₂ = 64°, the sum of all the forces in the y-direction will be

∑F_y = T sin(64°) - T sin(64°)

         = 0

Step 2:

The tension in the string:

The net force acting at the midpoint is 29.0 lb

Thus,

F_net = ∑F_x

F_net = 2T cos(64°)

29.0 = 2T cos(64°)

⇒ T = 29.0 / (2 cos(64°))

    T = 33.08 lb

Therefore, the tension in the string 33.08 lb.

-first use of geothermal energy occurred more than 10,000 years ago in north america by american paleo-indians

-the first industrial use of geothermal energy began near pisa, italy in late 18th century

-in 1904, italian scientist piero ginori conti invented the first geothermal electric power plant in which steam was used to generate the power

-with the above experiment, the first geothermal plant in usa started in 1922 with a capacity of 250 kilowatts

-however, in 1946 first ground-source geothermal heat pump installed at commonwealth building in portland, oregon

-during the 1960’s, pacific gas and electric began operation of first large scale geothermal power plant in san francisco, producing 11 megawatts

-in 1973, when oil crisis began many countries began looking for renewable energy sources and by 1980’s geothermal heat pumps (ghp) started gaining popularity in order to reduce heating and cooling costs

-as effect of climate change started showing results, governments of various countries joined hands to fight against it, for which kyoto protocol was signed in japan in 1997, laid out emission targets for rich countries and required that they transfer funds and technology to developing countries, 184 countries have ratified it
