    This document contains problems about determining tensions in cord/rope systems. Problem 3.31 asks to find the tension in each cord needed to support a 20-kg lamp hanging from 3 cords. Problem 3.32 asks to find the maximum mass the lamp can be before a cord exceeds 400 N of tension. Problems 3.50 and 3.51 involve calculating tensions in 3 ropes supporting a balloon subjected to an uplift force, and determining the maximum force before a rope breaks.

    3.31. Determine the tension developed in each cord required for equilibrium of the 20-kg
    lamp.
    3.32. Determine the maximum mass of the lamp that the cord system can support so that no
    single cord develops a tension exceeding 400 N.

    3.50. If the balloon is subjected to a net uplift force of F = 800 N, determine the tension
    developed in ropes AB, AC, AD.
    3.51. If each one of the ropes will break when it is subjected to a tensile force of 450 N,
    determine the maximum uplift force, F, the balloon can have before one of the ropes breaks.
    (BLTA 5: 843 N)
