Answer:
This value is less than the maximum tension of 500 lbs, making it safe for man to go to the tip flap
Explanation:
We must work on this problem using the rotational equilibrium equations and then they compared the tension values that the cable supports.
Let's start with fixing a reference system on the hinge of the flag, we take as positive the anti-clockwise turn
They indicate the weight of the pole W₁ = 120 lb and a length of L = 9 ft, the weight of the man W₂ = 150, we assume that the cable is at the tip of the pole
- L + W₂ L + W₁ L / 2 = 0
T_{y} = W₂ + W₁ / 2
T_{y} = 120 + 150/2
T_{y} = 195 lb
we use trigonometry to find the cable tension
sin 30 = T_{y} / T
T = T_{y} / sin 30
T = 195 / sin 30
T = 390 lb
This value is less than the maximum tension of 500 lbs, making it safe for man to go to the tip flap
T < 500 lb

The conservation of the mass of fluid through two sections (be they A1 and A2) of a conduit (pipe) or current tube establishes that the mass that enters is equal to the mass that exits. Mathematically the input flow must be the same as the output flow,
The definition of flow is given by
Where
V = Velocity
A = Area
The units of the flow of flow are cubic meters per second, that is to say that if there is a continuity, the volume of input must be the same as that of output, what changes if the sections are modified are the proportions of speed.
In this way
