Question

The figure shows a section of a cable-car system. The maximum permissible mass of each car with occupants is 2600 kg. The cars, riding on a support cable, are pulled by a second cable attached to the support tower on each car. Assume that the cables are taut and inclined at angle 0 33°. What is the difference in tension between adjacent sections of puli cable the cars are at the maximum permissible mass and are being accelerated up the indune at 0.89 m/s Number the tolerance is +/-8% uns erixas Poucy I zooo 201zusbrawn sons, unc.

Answer 1

From the diagram along the x-direction: T1-T2=mg sin θ + ma -(2600 kg)(9.8 m/s' sin33"+0.89 m/s) 1.61×104
