Question 7: Determine the forces in each cable needed to support the weight of the crate. The mass of the crate is unknown but the spring is observed to deform by 0.368 m (modified Q 3.7 from the textbook). Draw Free-body Diagram. D 2 m 1.5 m 0.5 m 0.5 m 1.5 m k = 4000 N / m Given spring deformation A = 0.368 m and k = 4000 N/m, so weight W= kA = (4000 N/m)(0.368 m) = 1472.00 N.

k = 4000 N / m
Given spring deformation A = 0.368 m and k = 4000 N/m,
so weight W= kA = (4000 N/m)(0.368 m) = 1472.00 N.
