Ascaffold that weighs 400 n supports two painters, one 500 n and the other 400 n. the tension in the rope on the left is 800 n. what is the magnitude of the tension in the rope on the right

The magnitude of the tension in the rope on the right is 500 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of scaffold= 400 N

Weight of first painter = 500 N

Weight of second painter = 400 N

Tension in the rope = 800 N

According to figure,

We need to calculate the magnitude of the tension in the rope on the right

Using balance equation

Where, =Tension on left side

=weight of first painter

=weight of second painter

=weight of scaffold

Put the value in the equation

Hence, The magnitude of the tension in the rope on the right is 500 N.
