Q. TEST COMPETITION\newlineThe mobile system in the Figure is in the equilibrium condition. The object of mAm_{A} has a mass of 0.5kg0.5\,\text{kg} and hang at the first crossbar. The second crossbar supports the mass of mBm_{B} and mCm_{C}. Determine the tension FF at the first crossbar and the masses of the objects mBm_{B} and mCm_{C} by neglecting the weights of crossbars. (g=9.8m/s2)(g=9.8\,\text{m}/\text{s}^{2}).
  1. Analyze and apply equilibrium condition: Analyze the problem and apply the equilibrium condition for the first crossbar. Since the system is in equilibrium, the total force acting on the crossbar must be zero. This includes the gravitational force due to the mass mAm_{A} and the tension FF in the crossbar.
  2. Apply equilibrium condition to second crossbar: Apply the equilibrium condition to the second crossbar. The tension FF from the first crossbar acts upwards on the second crossbar, and the gravitational forces due to mBm_{B} and mCm_{C} act downwards.
  3. Solve for mBm_B and mCm_C: Solve for mBm_B and mCm_C. We know F=4.9NF = 4.9 \, \text{N} from the first crossbar.
