Question

QUESTION: A cable with negligible mass is connected to a crate with a mass of 5.00 kg that is resting on a smooth, flat surface. The cable then passes over a light, smooth pulley. Another crate, with mass m, is attached to the other end of the cable. The crates are released, leading to a tension of 20.0 N on the cable. Compare the tension (T) to the weight (w) of the hanging crate. ANSWER OPTIONS: A T = 1.69 w B T = 0.59 w C T = 0.617 w D T = 1.621 w

A cable with negligible mass is connected to a crate with a mass of 5.00 kg that is resting on a smooth, flat surface. The cable then passes
over a light, smooth pulley. Another crate, with mass m, is attached to the other end of the cable. The crates are released, leading to a
tension of 20.0 N on the cable. Compare the tension (T) to the weight (w) of the hanging crate.
ANSWER OPTIONS:
A T = 1.69 w
B T = 0.59 w
C T = 0.617 w
D T = 1.621 w

Step 1

We know that the tension in the cable is 20.0 N. Since the crate on the smooth surface has a mass of 5.00 kg, we can use Newton's second law to find the acceleration of the system. $$F = ma$$ The force acting on the 5.00 kg crate is the tension T, so $$T = m_1 Show more…
