Equilibrium of bodies connected by cord and pulley – application of Newton's first law problems
and solutions

1. A box of mass 5 kg is on an inclined plane at an angle 30 o. The box supported by a cord. Determine
the tension force (T) and the normal force (N) !

Solution

∑Fx = 0
T – w sin 30o = 0
T = w sin 30o
T = (5 kg)(9,8 m/s2) sin 30o
T = (49)(0,5)
T = 24,5 Newton
