Answer:
T1 = 130N, T2 = 370N
Explanation:
In order for the system to be at rest, the sum of all forces must be zero and the torque around a point on the beam must be zero.
1. forces:
Let tension in rope 1 be T1 and in rope 2 be T2:
ma = T1 + T2 - 100N - 400N = 0
(1) T1 + T2 = 500N
2. torque around the center point of the beam:
τ = r x F = 5*T1 + 3*400N - 5*T2 = 0
(2) T1 - T2 = -240N
Solving both equations:
T1 = 130N
T2 = 370N
Using the formula F = m*a. where F is the force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration you can use it for each. As long as there are no other forces towards the body in both cases :
F = m*a
F = 50*3
F = 150 N
