Practise identifying vector quantities by their magnitude and direction, and classifying common physical quantities in Cambridge IGCSE Physics problems.
A radio transmitter is a very tall, thin cylinder. It is prevented from falling over by wires which have one end fixed to the transmitter and the other end fixed in the ground. The ends of the wires in the ground are a long distance from the transmitter.
Fig. 4.1 shows the transmitter and two of the wires.
Fig. 4.1
Wire W is under tension and it exerts a force T on the transmitter.
On Fig. 4.1, mark an arrow to show the force T exerted by wire W on the transmitter.
