An iron weight, suspended by a string, is motionless. The tension in the string is 4.75 newtons. What is the mass of the iron
weight?

Explanation:

If the mass hangs at the end of the string and the string can support the mass and doesn't break, and the mass hangs still, that means that the tension in the string is equal to the downward pull of the mass. However, we are given the tension in Newtons and the mass needs to be in kg. So we use the equation for weight:

w = mg where w, the weight, is the same as the tension in the string. Gravity is always 9.8 in the metric system:

4.75 = m(9.8) so

m = .48 kg

r=rho l/a where a is the area, l is the length and rho is resistivity so the greater the area the lesser the resistance thats why the earth pin is thicker bcos current follow the shortest path, so less resistive .

if i am correct, your answer choices are:

a. the temperature remains constant

b. the temperature increases at a constant rate

c. heat flows at a constant rate into the system

d. heat flows at a constant rate out of the system

e. no heat flows into or out of the system

if so, then the answer is e. no heat flows into or out of the system.
