If the rope pulling on the leg exerts a 120-N force on it, how massive should be the block hanging from the rope that passes over the pulley?

1 answer

Given

force F = 120 N

the angle theta = 20 degrees

here the vertical component of the tension in the sting is T sin theta which is equal to the force applied

that is T sin theta = 120

T = 120/si20 N

t = 350.85 N

now the weight mg = T



m = T / g

m = 350.85 /9.8 kg

m = 35.80 kg

the mass of the block should be hang the block hanging from the rope that passes over the pulley is 35.80 kg
