⚡ Mecademy AIENG정역학 · ch3 Problem Statement Cable passes over the small ideal pulley without a change in its tension. What length of cable is required for static equilibrium in the position shown? What is the tension in cable ? Problem 3/28 (a) Tension in cable 1. Formula: For the small ideal pulley to be in static equilibrium, the sum of the forces acting on it must be zero. The tension in cable is constant and equal to the weight it supports, . Let be the angle of cable with the horizontal. 2. Substitution: Substitute : 3. Calculation: Calculate the components of tension : 4. Result: ● Final Conclusion: The tension in cable required for equilibrium is .
