Answer:
Explanation:
a)
Below the worker , the tension in cable is pulling the crate . Let the tension be T₁ .
weight of crate is acting downwards .
Total weight 1510 N.
Net force acting on both = T₁ - 1510
Applying second law of Newton ,
T₁ - 1510 = 1510 / 9.8 x 0.62 [ 1510 / 9.8 = mass of crate ]
T₁ - 1510 = 95.5
T₁ = 1605.5 N.
b )
Above the worker , the tension in cable is pulling both the worker and the crate . Let the tension be T₂ .
weight of both worker and crate is acting downwards .
Total weight = 965 + 1510 = 2475 N.
Net force acting on both = T₂ - 2475
Applying second law of Newton ,
T₂ - 2475 = 2475 / 9.8 x 0.62 [ 2475 / 9.8 = mass of both worker and crate ]
T₂ - 2475 = 156.6
T₂ = 2631.6 N.
