Consider a rope 5 m long running from points A to B as in the figure below. The two walls are only 3 m apart; therefore, the rope sags. The difference in elevation of points A and B is 1 m. Along the rope, a frictionless pulley suspends a 200 N weight. When the system is at equilibrium, calculate the horizontal distance from the left wall to the weight. Consider:
