2- In the Figure below, the of the object is 50.0 kg. The object is hanging from a rope of negligible mass. If the upper end of the rope is attached to a roof ceiling, (a) what is the object's weight? (b) What force (magnitude and direction) does the rope exert on the object? (c) What is the tension at the top of the rope? (d) If the weight of the rope is considered to be 120 N, find the tension at each end of the rope.

Step 1
Given mass of the object, \(m = 50.0 \, \text{kg}\) Acceleration due to gravity, \(g = 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2\) Weight of the object, \(W = m \times g = 50.0 \, \text{kg} \times 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 = 490 \, \text{N}\) Show more…

The two blocks in the figure are connected by a heavy uniform rope with a mass of 4.00 kg. An upward force of 200 N is applied as shown. (a) Draw three free-body diagrams: one for the 6.00-kg block, one for the 4.00-kg rope, and another one for the 5.00-kg block. For each force, indicate what body exerts that force. (b) What is the acceleration of the system? (c) What is the tension at the top of the heavy rope? (d) What is the tension at the midpoint of the rope?

Object B is hanging from Object A. A rope is hanging below Object B with nothing attached on its lower side. Bob pulls up with a force, F, on a rope attached to the top of Object A. Object A accelerates upward at 3.0 m/s2. Both Objects have mass = 5.0 kg. All ropes are massless. a. What is F? b. What is the tension in rope 1? c. What is the tension in rope 2?
