Question
Please help with calculating Fp.

Transcribed Image Text:A person pulls at an angle of \( \theta = 34.0^\circ \) on three connected crates with masses \( m_1 = 25.0 \, \text{kg} \), \( m_2 = 18.0 \, \text{kg} \), and \( m_3 = 15.0 \, \text{kg} \) over a smooth horizontal floor. The crates are linked by identical massless horizontal strings A and B, each with a maximum tension capacity of 45.0 N before breaking.
### Diagram Explanation:
- **Crates:** The image displays three wooden crates labeled \( m_1 \), \( m_2 \), and \( m_3 \).
- **Strings:** There are two horizontal strings, labeled A (between \( m_1 \) and \( m_2 \)) and B (between \( m_2 \) and \( m_3 \)).
- **Pulling Force:** An arrow labeled "Pull" is shown at an angle \( \theta = 34.0^\circ \) from the horizontal.
### Questions:
1. **What is the magnitude \( F_p \) of the largest pulling force that can be exerted without breaking either of the strings?**
- **Answer Field:** \( F_p = 27.5 \, \text{N} \) (Incorrect)
2. **What is the magnitude \( T_B \) of the tension in string B just before one of the strings breaks?**
- **Answer Field:** \( T_B = \) (Incorrect)
3. **What is the magnitude \( T_A \) of the tension in string A just before one of the strings breaks?**
- **Answer Field:** \( T_A = \) (Incorrect)
