A 76 Netwon traffic light is supported at the midpoint of a 27 meter length of cable between two poles. Find the tension in each cable segment if the cable sags a vertical distance of 1 m.
Tension = [Num]Newtons
h = 1 m
L = 27 m
l = L/2 = 27/2 = 13.5 m
2 T sin(theta) = 76 N
2 * T * 1 / 13.5 = 76
T = 76 * 13.5 /2 = 513 N

Problem three: An electrician is suspending a traffic light between two poles using cables as shown. Three physics students who are watching make the following contentions: Cable A Anders: “For this arrangement, the tension has to be the same in both cables, since they each support half the weight of the traffic light." Baji: "I think the tension in the left cable has to be larger because it is Cable B more vertical. The vertical component of its tension has...

1. A uniform 40.0-kg scaffold of length 6.0 m is supported by two light cables, as shown below. An 80.0-kg painter stands 1.0 m from the right end of the scaffold, and his 2.5 kg painting equipment is 1.5 m from the left end. a) Draw an FBD of the scaffold and clearly label all the forces acting on the scaffold b) Summing the torques acting on the scaffold, find the tension in the right-hand cable. Summing the forces acting...
A uniform 50-kg scaffold of length 7.0 m is supported by two light cables, as shown below. A 58-kg painter stands 1.0 m from the left end of the scaffold, and his paint bucket is 1.5 m from the right end. If the tension in the left cable is twice that in the right cable, find the tensions in the cables and the mass of the bucket. Express all answers rounded to one decimal place.
6. A uniform rod of length 5.0 m and weight 60.0 N is supported at its right end by a vertical cable and at a point 1.5 m from the left end by another vertical cable, as shown. Find the tension in both cables. Sm 3.5 m
PRACTICE IT Use the worked example above to help you solve this problem. A traffic light weighing 1.20 x 10 N from a vertical cable tied to two other cables that are fastened to a support, as shown in upper cables make angles of ?1 = 39.09 and ?2-51.00 with the horizontal. Find the tension in each of the three cables. hangs Figure (a). The 91 T3 = GETTING STARTEDI rM STUCK
