â/8.37 points scalcet8 12.2.037. ask your teacher my notes question part points submissions used a block-and-tackle pulley hoist
is suspended in a warehouse by ropes of lengths 2 m and 3 m. the hoist weighs 350 n. the ropes, fastened at different heights, make angles of 50° and 38° with the horizontal. find the tension in each rope and the magnitude of each tension. (let t2 and t3, represent the tension vectors corresponding to the ropes of length 2 m and 3 m respectively. round all numerical values to two decimal places.)
1 answer:
Refer to the diagram shown below.
The hoist is in static equilibrium supported by tensions in the two ropes.
For horizontal force balance, obtain
T₃ cos 50 = T₂ cos 38
0.6428T₃ = 0.788T₂
T₃ = 1.2259T₂ (1)
For vertical force balance, obtain
T₂ sin 38 + T₃ sin 50 = 350
0.6157T₂ + 0.766T₃ = 350 (2)
Substitute (1) into (2).
0.6157T₂ + 0.766(1.2259T₂) = 350
1.5547T₂ = 350
T₂ = 225.124 N
T₃ = 1.2259(225.124) = 275.979
Answer:
T₂ = 225.12 N
T₃ = 275.98 N
