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 load of 200 N. Calculate the tension in the rope at equilibrium.
