(II) A 0.75 -kg sheet hangs from a massless clothesline as shown in Fig. $63 .$ The clothesline on either side of the sheet makes an angle of $3.5^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. Calculate the tension in the clothesline on either side of the sheet. Why is the tension so much greater than the weight of the sheet?
A block of mass 5 kg is suspended by two ropes as shown in the picture below. The angle that the right rope makes with the horizontal is θ = 45 degrees. 5) Compare the tensions in the two ropes. a. Tright < Tleft b. Tright = Tleft c. Tright > Tleft 6) What is the tension in the left rope? a. T = 0 N b. T = 29 N c. T = 49 N d. T = 55 N e. T = 57 N

A block-and-tackle pulley hoist is suspended in a warehouse by ropes of lengths $2 \mathrm{m}$ and $3 \mathrm{m}$. The hoist weighs $350 \mathrm{N}$. The ropes, fastened at different heights, make angles of $50^{\circ}$ and $38^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. Find the tension in each rope and the magnitude of each tension.
