Step 1
In the free body diagram for the man, we have the weight of the man acting downwards (600N) and the tension in each rope acting upwards. Let's call the tension in the left rope T1, the tension in the middle rope T2, and the tension in the right rope T3. Show more…

Draw a free body diagram for the hanging object and another for the knot where cords A, B, and C meet (see figure) Write down expressions for Newton's 1st Law based on each free body diagram: Then, find the tension in each cord in the figure if the weight of the hanging object is 2.5 N.

A 5 kg metal ball is hanging from a rope (rope 1) as shown in the figure below. The rope is attached to a fixed support. Your friend then pulls the ball to the right (in the +x direction) by pulling horizontally with another rope (rope 2). Assume that the balls hang motionless with rope 1 at an angle of 35° to the vertical (Acceleration due to gravity: g = 9.8 m/s²). a. (5 points) Draw the free body diagram for the ball. b. (10 points) Find the magnitude of the tension force in rope 1. c. (10 points) Find the magnitude of the tension force in rope 2.

6. The two blocks in the figure have masses mA and mB and are connected by a heavy uniform rope with a mass mR. An upward force F is applied as shown. (a) Draw three free-body diagrams: one for the block A, one for the rope, and another one for block B. For each force, indicate what body exerts that force. (b) Identify which forces that appear in your diagrams form third law pairs. (c) What is the acceleration of the system? (d) What is the tension at the top of the heavy rope? (e) What is the tension at the midpoint of the rope?
