The steel I-beam in the drawing has a weight of 8.80 kN and is being lifted at a constant velocity. What is the tension in each cable attached to its ends? (Assume α = 69.3°.)
First, each cable is identical, and we're probably to assume that the I-beam is of constant density all along its length, so that if you flip the I-beam around, the situation is exactly the same. That means that whatever the tension we find in one cable, the tension in the other is the same.
That means that 8.80 kN /2 = 4.4kN is held by each cable.
The cables aren't hanging straight down. This means that some fraction of the tension doesn't go into lifting the I-beam, but (in this case) into applying a compressional force along the I-beam. This can be neglected (presumably the beam isn't so weak that it's going to crumple).
So, what is the component of the tension that actually lifts the beam? It's T*sin(69.3) ~ 0.93T. Each cable provides this lift, so we have
2*0.93*T = 8.8 kN
==> T = 4.73 kN.

An elevator is being lifted up an elevator shaft at a constant speed by a steel cable as shown in the figure. Assume that all frictional forces can be ignored. In this situation, forces on the elevator are such that: steel cable elevator going up at constant speed o the upward force by the cable is greater than the downward force of gravity. the upward force by the cable is equal to the downward force of gravity. the upward force...
A statue with a mass of 103.1 kg is being lifted by a crane attached to a building. At one point in the lift, the statue is moving upwards with a speed of 5.1 m/s and slowing down (the speed is getting smaller). The magnitude of the acceleration is 1.82 m/s^2. What is the tension in the cable lifting the statue? Give your answer in N to three significant figures. Assume the rope is ideal.
