three-boats-are-being-pulled-horizontally-on-a-frictionless-surface-using-ropes--1

Question

Shown below are three boats being pulled along the x-axis on a frictionless surface via ropes. If the magnitude of the pull force applied is 480 N, calculate the tension in each rope.

Three boats on a frictionless surface being pulled with a force of 480 N, showing their weights.

Accepted Answer

T_A = 400.0 N and T_B = 240.0 N

Answer

T_A = 300.0 N and T_B = 220.0 N

Answer

T_A = 340.0 N and T_B = 230.0 N

Answer

T_A = 360.0 N and T_B = 260.0 N
