Answer:
Tension for the part of the rope that was pulled on first, T1 = 26N
Tension of the other side of the rope, T2 = 9.4N
Explanation:
The first rope creates a tension, T1
Tension T1 = 26N
pulley of mass, M = 1.31 kg
radius, r = 0.0791 m
Mass of rope, m = 0.601 kg
Tension from downward pull on the other side of the rope gives an equation:
T2-m*g =m*a
a = (T2-m*g)/m ...equation 1
Where m = mass attached to the rope
Tension from pulley system also gives an equation:
(T1-T2) = 1/2 *M*a
Where M = mass of the pulley
a= 2(T1-T2)/M ...equation 2
Equating equation 1 and equation 2
a = a
(T2-m*g)/m = 2(T1-T2)/M
Let g= 9.81m/s^2
[T2 -(0.601×9.81)]/0.601 = 2(26-T2)/1.31
(T2 - 5.89581)/0.601 = 1.5267(26-T2)
T2 - 5.89581 = 0.9175(26-T2)
T2 - 5.89581 = 23.855 - 0.9175T2
T2 + 0.9175T2 = 23.855 - 5.89581
1.9175T2 = 17.95919
T2 = 17.95919/1.9175
T2 = 9.3659N
Tension from the other side of the pull, T2 is approximately 9.4N
