Explanation:
Draw a free body diagram for each disc.
Disc A has three forces acting on it: 86.5 N up, T₁ down, and Wa down.
∑F = ma
86.5 N − T₁ − Wa = 0
Wa = 86.5 N − T₁
ma × 9.8 m/s² = 86.5 N − 55.6 N
ma = 3.2 kg
Disc B has three forces acting on it: T₁ up, T₂ down, and Wb down.
∑F = ma
T₁ − T₂ − Wb = 0
Wb = T₁ − T₂
mb × 9.8 m/s² = 55.6 N − 36.5 N
mb = 1.9 kg
Disc C has three forces acting on it: T₂ up, T₃ down, and Wc down.
∑F = ma
T₂ − T₃ − Wc = 0
Wc = T₂ − T₃
mc × 9.8 m/s² = 36.5 N − 9.6 N
mc = 2.7 kg
Disc D has two forces acting on it: T₃ up and Wd down.
∑F = ma
T₃ − Wd = 0
Wd = T₃
md × 9.8 m/s² = 9.6 N
md = 0.98 kg
Answer:
T = 4.905[N]
Explanation:
In order to solve this problem we must perform a sum of forces on the vertical axis.
∑Fy = 0
We have two forces acting only, the weight of the body down and the tension force T up, as the body does not move we can say that it is system is in static equilibrium, therefore the sum of forces is equal to zero.

Answer:
Part a) 
Part b) 
Explanation:
Part a) what is its frequency, in rev/s
we have that
An old-fashioned LP record rotates at 33 1/3 RPM
so

Convert mixed number to an improper fraction

Remember that

Convert rev/min to rev/sec

Simplify

Part b) what is it period, in seconds
we know that
The period is the reciprocal of the frequency
therefore
the frequency is
