The 200-lb uniform tank is suppended by means of a 6-ft-long cable, which is attached to the side of the tank and passes over the small pully located at O. If the cable can be attached at either points A and B, or C and D, determine which attachment produces the least amount of tension in the cable. What is this tension? a= 2.7 ft b=1.1 ft

Two squirrels are sitting on the rope as shown. The squirrel at A has a weight of 1.3 lb. The squirrel at B found less food this season and has a weight of 0.8 lb. The angles and are equal to 49° and 58.8° respectively. Determine the tension force in each of the rope segments (T₁ in segment AC, T₂ in segment AB, and T3 in segment BD) as well as the angle a in degrees. A Note the figure may not be to scale. T₁ = T₂ = T3 = Ө α = 10 Submit Question lb lb lb degrees a ↑ B D cc 130 BY NC SA 2013 Michael Swanbom
