4.13 A 160-kg crate hangs from ropes as shown in Figure P4.11. Find the tension in ropes AB and AC.
Added by Nieves D.
Close
Step 1
The crate has a weight \( W \) due to gravity, which can be calculated as: \[ W = mg \] where \( m = 160 \, \text{kg} \) and \( g = 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 \). \[ W = 160 \, \text{kg} \times 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 = 1568 \, \text{N} \] Show more…

Two crates connected by a rope lie on a horizontal surface (Fig. E5.37). Crate A has mass mA, and crate B has mass mB. The coefficient of kinetic friction between each crate and the surface is μk. The crates are pulled to the right at constant velocity by a horizontal force F. Draw one or more free-body diagrams to calculate the following in terms of mA, mB, and μk: (a) the magnitude of F and (b) the tension in the rope connecting the blocks.
