Magnitude of the force of tension: 139 N
Explanation:
The surface of the ramp here is assumed to be the positive x-direction.
To solve this problem and find the magnitude of the force of tension, we have to analyze only the situation along the x-direction, since the force of tension lie in this direction.
There are three forces acting along the x-direction:
- The force of tension,
, acting up along the plane
- The force of friction,
, acting down along the plane
- The component of the weight in the x-direction,
, acting down along the plane
We know that the magnitude of the weight is
So its x-component is
The net force along the x-direction can be written as
And therefore, since the net force is 98 N, we can find the magnitude of the force of tension:
