Easy -2.0 This is a trivial statics problem requiring only the single equation T = mg with no calculation needed since the answer is given in symbolic form. It tests basic understanding that tension equals weight for a hanging mass, which is fundamental recall with no problem-solving element.
11 A decoration is hanging freely from a fixed point on a ceiling.
The decoration has a mass of 0.2 kilograms.
The decoration is hanging by a light, inextensible wire.
The wire is 0.1 metres long.
