Question

The crate has a mass of 130kg. determine the tension developed in each cable for equilibrium.

Answer 1

A system is in equilibrium when the sum of all forces is zero. ... is equal to the weight force, mg ("m" is mass, "g" is the acceleration

Answer 2

Answer:

T=W

T=mg

T=(130)(9.81)

T=1275.3 N

Explanation:

In determining the Tension in an equilibrium always remember that the Summation of X and Y is equal to Zero. T-W=0 therefore T=W.
