Find the relationship between them

In summary, the question is asking for the maximum weight that can be supported by the five ropes in the picture without any of them breaking. The solution involves finding the relationship between the tensions on each rope and determining which rope is supporting which pulley.

Homework Statement



The five ropes in the picture can withstand 1500n each, how heavy can w be without breaking any?

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


First naming the tensions on the rope t1,t2,t3,t4,t5
and find the relationship between them, like t1 = 2t2
but i don't understand the picture...
can anyone help me to understand which rope is holding which rollers?
Thanks

Hi 385sk117! :smile:

If a rope ends in a blob in the middle of a pulley, then it's ending there, and supporting the wight of that pulley

So, calling the pulleys A B C and D from the left, the first string starts at the ceiling and goes round A and B and supports C, the other string starts at the weight W and goes round C and D and ends at the ceiling. :wink:
 

Related to Find the relationship between them

1. What is the purpose of finding the relationship between two variables?

The purpose of finding the relationship between two variables is to understand how they are related to each other. This can help us make predictions, identify patterns, and gain insights into the underlying mechanisms of a phenomenon.

2. How do you determine the strength of a relationship between two variables?

The strength of a relationship between two variables can be determined by calculating the correlation coefficient. This is a numerical value that ranges from -1 to 1, with 0 indicating no relationship, -1 indicating a perfect negative relationship, and 1 indicating a perfect positive relationship.

3. Can a relationship between two variables change over time?

Yes, a relationship between two variables can change over time. This can happen due to various factors such as external influences, changes in the variables themselves, or the introduction of new variables.

4. What are the different types of relationships between two variables?

The different types of relationships between two variables include positive, negative, and no relationship. A positive relationship means that as one variable increases, the other also increases. A negative relationship means that as one variable increases, the other decreases. A no relationship means that there is no apparent pattern between the two variables.

5. How can you graphically represent the relationship between two variables?

The relationship between two variables can be graphically represented using a scatter plot. This involves plotting each data point on a graph with one variable on the x-axis and the other variable on the y-axis. The pattern of the data points can give us insights into the type and strength of the relationship between the variables.
