find the weight of a pumpkin hanging from two scales, if scale one reads 44 n, scale two reads 46 n, and the angle θ between the strings coming from the two scales is 72 degrees.

Answer :

The pumpkin hangs between the two scales and weighs 58.77 N.

Explain the term resultant force?

  • The entire force operating on the item or body, combined with the body's direction, is referred to as the resultant force.
  • Once the object is at rest or moving at the same speed as the object, then resultant force is zero.

The given data is-

  1. a = 44 N when reading from scale one.
  2. b = 46 N when reading on scale two.
  3. Ф = 72° is the angle between both the two scales.

The result of the 2 scale readings is equal to the weight of a pumpkin swinging from the two scales.

The two forces combine to create resultant force;

R² = a² + b² - 2abcos(θ)

R² = 44² + 46² - 2(44)(46)cos(72)

R² = 3454.97

R = 58.77

Consequently, the pumpkin's weight on the two scales is 58.77 N.
