Step 14

Torque about the left end

Trl-msgl2-mpgrp-megl-re=0Tr=gmsl2+mprp+mel-rel        1

Torque about the right end

Tll-msgl2-mpgl-rp-megre=0Tl=gmsl2+mpl-rp+merel        2

Step 2

Tension in the left cable is twice that of the tension in the right cable

2Tr=Tl2gmsl2+mprp+mel-rel=gmsl2+mpl-rp+merelmsl2+mp3rp-l+me2l-3re=0me=-msl2-mp3rp-l2l-3re
