Question

A sign is hung between two cables. If the sign weighs 350 N, what is the tension (in N) in each cable?

Answer 1

Tension in each cable = 175 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of cables = 2

Weight of sign board(T) = 350 N

Find:

Tension in each cable

Computation:

We know that,

T1 = T2

So,

T1 + T2 = T

T1 + T2 = 350

T1 + T1 = 350

T1 = 175

Tension in each cable = 175 N
