### 3.1

#### DEFINE

**GIVEN**:
A 1200-lb crate is supported by several rope-and-pulley arrangements as shown.

![Pulley Arrangements](image showing five pulley arrangements labeled a, b, c, d, e with a crate suspended below each configuration)

**Figure Description**:
- Five pulley arrangements (a), (b), (c), (d), and (e)
- Each arrangement consists of a crate hanging from rope-and-pulley systems
- The tension in the rope is denoted by \( T \) in each setup
- Each configuration presents varying complexity of pulley systems, ranging from a simple single pulley in (a) to more complex arrangements in (e)

**FIND**:
Determine for each arrangement the tension in the rope. (a)-(e)

#### SOLVE


#### VERIFY

---

In this problem scenario, you will analyze and determine the tension in the rope for several different rope-and-pulley systems supporting a 1200-lb crate. This exercise will help illustrate the mechanical advantage provided by each arrangement and how tension is distributed in these systems.
