A six vertical stranded pulley is used to raise a load weighing 1,000 kg. What is the tension on the pulley cable?
Added by Hailey
Step 1
We know that the load weighs 1,000 kg, which means the force due to gravity acting on it is: F = m * g where F is the force, m is the mass (1,000 kg), and g is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.81 m/s²). Show more…
