Question43. (II) A $27-\mathrm{kg}$ chandelier hangs from a ceiling on a vertical 3.4-m-long wire. (a) What horizontal force would be necessary to displace its position 0.15 m to one side? (b) What will be the tension in the wire?

Studdy Solution
Determine the tension in the wire:
- Use the approximation $T \approx mg$ since $\cos \theta \approx 1$.
$$T = 27 \times 9.8$$
- Calculate $T$.
The horizontal force required is approximately:
$$F_h \approx 11.6 \, \text{N}$$
The tension in the wire is approximately:
$$T \approx 264.6 \, \text{N}$$
