The tension in each rope

Answer to Problem 36SSC
Tension in the top rope is
Tension in the bottom rope is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The masses of each block is 5 kg
The acceleration due to gravity g =9.8m/s2
Formula Used:
Weight is given as,
Calculation:
The free body diagram of the system is as shown below.
The net force on M2 is zero
Tension in the second rope
The net force on the first mass is also zero. From the free body diagram
Conclusion:
The tension in the ropes are
T1 = 98 N
T2 = 49 N

Rick grows up to be an Earth-bound robotics technician while Mick becomes an intergalactic astronaut. Mick leaves the Earth on his first space mission in the year 2200 and travels, according to his clock, for 10 years at a speed of 0.75c. Unfortunately, at this point in his journey, the structure of his ship undergoes mechanical breakdown and the ship explodes.
