A piata of mass M = 8.0 kg is attached to a rope of negligible mass that is strung between the tops of two vertical poles. The horizontal distance between the poles is D = 2.0 m, and the top of the right pole is a vertical distance h = 0.50 m higher than the top of the left pole. The piata is attached to the rope at a horizontal position halfway between the two poles and at a vertical distance s = 1.0 m below the top ofthe left pole. Find the tension in each part of the rope due to the weight of the piata.
