A 90 kg painter is standing on a horizontal wooden scaffolding of length 10 m, which is supported on each end by a rope. The painter is standing 2 m from the first rope and 8 m from the second rope. What is the tension in the first rope (in Newtons)

Explanation:

For equilibrium, .

So,   = 0

                        =

                        = 705.6 N

Also, for equilibrium = 0

              = 0

or,        

                        =

                        = 176.4 N

Thus, we can conclude that the tension in the first rope is 176.4 N.

speed of light in vacuum is 300,000 km/s

speed of light in other mediums is given by the expression v = c/n, where c is the speed of light in vacuum and n is the refractive index of medium.

for the first medium v = 200,000 km/s

  so, refractive index of medium = 300000/200000 = 1.5

    1.5 refractive index is usually for glass. so first medium is glass.

for the second medium v = 250,00 km/s

so, refractive index of medium = 300000/250000 = 1.2

    1.2 refractive index is usually for water. so second medium is water.

for the third medium v = 0 km/s

so, refractive index of medium = 300000/0 = ∞

    ∞ refractive index is usually for opaque mediums. so third medium is opaque medium.
