Calculate the tension T (in kN) in the cable which supports the 500-kg mass with the pulley arrangement shown. Each pulley is free to rotate about its bearing, and the weights of all parts are small compared with the load.

Step 1
The mass is 500 kg, so the gravitational force (weight) acting on it is given by the formula \( F = m \cdot g \), where \( m \) is the mass and \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately \( 9.81 \, \text{m/s}^2 \)). Show more…

Determine the tension T in the cable to raise the 800-kg load if the coefficient of friction for the 30-mm bearing is 0.25. Also find the tension T0 in the stationary section of the cable. The mass of the cable and pulley is small and may be neglected.

Two Blocks on a Pulley In Fig. $11-36$, one block has mass $M=500$ $\mathrm{g}$, the other has mass $m=460 \mathrm{~g}$, and the pulley, which is mounted in horizontal frictionless bearings, has a radius of $5.00 \mathrm{~cm}$. When released from rest, the heavier block falls $75.0 \mathrm{~cm}$ in $5.00 \mathrm{~s}$ (without the cord slipping on the pulley). (a) What is the magnitude of the blocks' acceleration? What is the tension in the part of the cord that supports (b) the heavier block and (c) the lighter block? (d) What is the magnitude of the pulley's rotational acceleration? (e) What is its rotational inertia?
