Question

Let us assume we have the following experimental values:

T₂ = (100 ± 2) N

_theta2 = (25 ± 1) degrees

- Write the minimum and maximum values of T₂ and θ₂.

- Find the minimum and maximum values for T_1x, the horizontal component of the tension. Then, write the results as a central value ± error.

Now let’s assume that we did the same thing for T₁ and θ₁, and the result for the x component is:

T_1x = (-67 ± 3) N

- Find the minimum and maximum values for the net force in the x direction. Then, write the results as a central value ± error.

- Is this experimental result for the net force in the x direction compatible with zero (i.e., with the equilibrium condition)?
