3-38 with the following modification change the block weight to 50 lb

Transcribed Image Text:The block has a weight of 20 lb and is being hoisted at uniform velocity. Determine the angle θ for equilibrium and the force in each cord.
**Diagram Explanation:**
The image depicts a block suspended by cords using a pulley system. The block weighs 20 lb and is being lifted steadily without acceleration.
- **Pulley System:** There is a pulley labeled at point A. A cord runs over this pulley.
- **Angle and Tension:**
- The cord forms an angle of \( 30^\circ \) with the horizontal axis from point B to the pulley at point A.
- The angle θ is formed between the vertical part of the cord and the section leading to point B.
- T represents the tension in the cord segment extending from point B.
To solve, one must apply equilibrium conditions to determine θ and the forces in the cord segments.
