Question
Two weights are connected by a massless wire and pulled upward with a constant speed of 1.50 m/s by a vertical pull P. The tension in the wire is T.
In the situation above, what is T equal to?
Express your answer in N.

Transcribed Image Text:The image depicts a mechanical diagram illustrating forces acting on two blocks.
- The top block is labeled with a weight of 25 N (Newtons).
- The bottom block is labeled with a weight of 100 N.
These blocks are vertically aligned, indicating a system where the bottom block supports the top one.
**Forces Explained:**
1. **Pull \( P \):**
- An upward arrow labeled "Pull \( P \)" is depicted above the top block. This indicates an external force being applied upwards on the system.
2. **Tension \( T \):**
- A line between the two blocks is labeled "Tension \( T \)" suggesting that tension is experienced in the connection between the blocks, resulting from the pull exerted.
This diagram is typically used to understand the forces at work in a system involving connected masses. The values indicate the weights of the blocks, and the labels show how forces are transmitted through tension.
