Tension Force Formula With Angle
Tension force formula with angle
Find the horizontal component of the tension force by multiplying the applied force by the cosine of the angle. Work out the vertical component of the tension force by multiplying the applied force by the sin of the angle. Add these two forces together to find the total magnitude of the applied force.
What is the formula for tension force?
We know that the force of tension is calculated using the formula T = mg + ma.
How does angle affect tension?
As we increase the angle, more of the force exerted by the string is directed in the horizontal direction. Thus, there is less force exerted on the block in the vertical direction. Therefore, to compensate for that decrease, the string exerts a larger overall force on the block.
