The rope passes over a fixed pulley, then under a movable pulley, and is attached to the ceiling as shown. The movable pulley has a mass m attached to it and moves at a constant speed. Find the tension in the rope. Assume that the masses of the pulleys are negligible.arrow_forwardTwo teams of nine members each engage in a tug of war. Each of the first team's members has an average mass of 68 kg and exerts an average force of 1350 N horizontally. Each of the second team's members has an average mass of 73 kg and exerts an average force of 1375 N horizontally. (a) What is the acceleration (in m/s? in the direction the heavy team is pulling) of the two teams? 0.18 v m/s? in the direction the heavy team is pulling (b) What is the tension (in N) in the section of rope between the teams? 12639.6 X Narrow_forward
