The 55-kg cylinder is suspended from a clamping collar at C which can be positioned at any horizontal position x between the fixed supports at A and B. The cable is 11 m in length. Determine and plot the tensions in cable segments AC and BC as a function of x over the interval 0 ? x ? 10. Do your plot on a separate piece of paper. Then answer the questions to check your results. Questions: (a) If x = 2.7 m, the tension in cable AC is (b) If x = 7.1 m, the tension in cable BC is

5. A 10.20 kg block is attached as shown in the diagram: (a) Draw a free-body diagram of the block. Cable (1) makes an angle of 30° with the horizontal (positive x-axis), and cable (2) makes an angle of 40° with the horizontal (negative x-axis) as shown. The tension in cable (1) is 81.48 N. (b) Find the tension in cable (2).

A block having a mass of m = 10.5 kg is suspended via two cables as shown in the figure. The angles shown in the figure are as follows: α = 11° and β = 25°. We will label the tension in Cable 1 as T1 and the tension in Cable 2 as T2. Part (A) - Draw the Free Body Diagram for the block. Part (B) - Write an expression for the sum of forces in the x direction in terms of T1, T2, m, g, α, and β. Use the specified coordinate system. Part (D) - Solve for the numeric value of T1, in newtons. Part (E) - Solve for the numeric value of T2, in newtons.
