6. The following pulley system made of 3 massless pulleys, and the load weight `W = 300\ N`.
a) What is the IMA of this system?
b) Find magnitude of tension T1,T2, T3, T4, T5 and T6.

a) What is the IMA of this system?
b) Find magnitude of tension T1,T2, T3, T4, T5 and T6.  IMA is equal to the number of rope segments on the moving pulleys.
(a)`IMA = 3`
(b)
`T_1=T_2 = T_3= T_4 = 100\ N`
`T_5 = 200\ N`
`T_6 = 200\ N`
(a)
IMA is equal to the number of rope segments pulling up on the moving pulleys (or Loading object).
Count segments we get:
`IMA = 3`
(b)
Given: `W = 300\ N`
`IMA = F_(out)/F_(i n) = W/T_1`
`T_1 = W/(IMA)`
`T_1 = (300\ N)/3`
`T_1 = 100\ N`
since `T_1, T_2 , T_3, T_4` are one rope.
`T_1=T_2 = T_3= T_4 = 100\ N`
`T_5 = T_1+T_2`
`T_5 = 200\ N`
`T_6 = T_3+T_4`
`T_6 = 200\ N` |
