Q4 (2.67) :
A 280-kg crate is supported by several rope-and-pulley
arrangements as shown. Determine for each arrangement the
tension in the rope.
(Hint: The tension in the rope is the same on each side of a simple
pulley.)

Q6 (3-17) :
Determine the force in each cable and the force F needed to hold
the lamp of mass M in the position shown.
Hint: First analyze the equilibrium at B; then, using the result for
the force in BC, analyze the equilibrium at C.
