A ski resort chair lift has towers spaced 38 m horizontaly appart. The upper tower is 13 m higher than the previous tower. If the chairs are 12 m horizontally appart and the first chair is 5 m past the lower tower what is the tension on both ends of the cable? The mass of each chair is 550 Kg and the height above the lower tower for each chair's attachment to the cable is 0.26829 m, 3 m, 7.8195 m. Lower Tower Cable Tension = Upper Tower Cable Tension = kN. KN.

A ski resort chair lift has towers spaced 38 m horizontaly appart. The upper tower is 13 m higher
than the previous tower. If the chairs are 12 m horizontally appart and the first chair is 5 m past
the lower tower what is the tension on both ends of the cable?
The mass of each chair is 550 Kg and the height above the lower tower for each chair's attachment to the
cable is 0.26829 m, 3 m, 7.8195 m.
Lower Tower Cable Tension =
Upper Tower Cable Tension
=
kN.
kN.
