Answer:
Explanation:
In a frictionless system with no acceleration, the tension in the rope must be F along its entire length
FBD analysis of the lower pulley has two upward acting tension vectors F and one downward acting weight vector W
2F = W
F = W/2
FBD analysis of the upper pulley has one upward acting support vector T and three downward acting tension vectors F
T = 3F
T = 3(W/2)
T = 1.5W
Slow down before entering the curve. Stay close to the outside. Use the gas pedal as you enter the middle of the curve.
These values are all vectors since they all possess both magnitude and direction.
