- A uniform 37.0 kg scaffold of length 6.2 m is supported by two light cables, as shown below. An 82.0 kg painter stands 1.0 m from the left end of the scaffold, and his painting equipment is 1.6 mfrom the right end. If the tension in the left cable is twice that in the right cable, find the tensions in the cables (in N) and the mass of the equipment (in kg). (Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values in your calculations).arrow_forwardA 25-ft crane supported at its lower end by a pin is elevated by a horizontal cable. A 250-lb load is suspended through the cable. The center of gravity of the crane is 10 ft from the pin, and the crane weighs 200 lb. Hint: You don't have to convert the unit since they cancel out on both sides. 25. Find the tension in the cable. T $25016 26. Find the total force acting on the pin. y 27.
