1) A rope, assumed massless, is stretched horizontally between two supports that are 3.83 m apart. When an object of weight 3500 N is hung at the center of the rope, the rope is observed to sag by 35.0 cm. What is the tension in the rope?
N
2) A scaffold of mass 44 kg and length 6.0 m is supported in a horizontal position by a vertical cable at each end. A window washer of mass 87 kg stands at a point 1.4 m from one end.
(a) What is the tension in the cable closer to the painter?
N
(b) What is the tension in the cable further from the painter?
N
