Assignment:
A winch is used to raise a 500 kg crate at a constant velocity (a = 0 m/s2). Determine the tension in the support arm and the angle theta. Note: the cable that runs from the motor, over the pulley, and to the 500 kg crate is continuous.
The picture consists of a motor that has a cable running up to a pulley (which has the 500kg crate hanging on the other side of the pulley), the cable makes a 45 degree angle with the ground. The pulley is held up by the support arm which is attached to a ceiling like structure in the right corner. The theta angle is the angle between the support arm and the ceiling.
