Answer 2

Answer:

Rounding to 2 sig figs the tension in each handle is 13 N

Explanation:

I'll assume there are two handles with things evenly distributed. A free body diagram would look like this:

where T1 is the tension in one handle and T2 is the tension in the second handle and where W is the weight.

W = mg so 2.5•9.8 = 24.5 N

The sum of the forces equals zero since there is no motion. So T1 + T2 + W = 0 or:

T1 + T2 + 24.5 = 0

Since T1 = T2

T1 + T1 + 24.5 = 0

2T1 = -24.5

T1 = -12.25

Rounding to 2 sig figs the tension in each handle is 13 N
