Question

Given DIAGRAM 1.1 where FT means Tension and W means Weight, calculate the tension on the steel cable given the following conditions: Steel Cable 355kg cargo
A. The cargo is stationary.
B. The cargo accelerates upward at a rate of 0.25 m/(s^2)

What is the tension in Condition B?

Answer 1

Without DIAGRAM 1.1 and the given information of the angles or specific forces involved, it is not possible to calculate the tension on the steel cable in Condition B.
