Question
A spider of mass 50 g is hanging on a string of a cobweb as shown in the figure. What is the tension in the string?
Solution
Given,
m = 50 g, T = ?
Tension in the string T = mg
= 50 × 10-2 × 9.8 = 0.49 N

The rough surface of a horizontal table offers a definite maximum opposing force to initiate the motion of a block along with the table, which is proportional to the resultant normal force given by the table. Forces F1 and F2 act at the same angle T with the horizontal and both are just initiating the sliding motion of the block along with the table. Force F1 is a pulling force while the force F2 is a pushing force. F2 > F1, because
