Answer:
Explanation:
In a frictionless system with no acceleration, the tension in the rope must be F along its entire length
FBD analysis of the lower pulley has two upward acting tension vectors F and one downward acting weight vector W
2F = W
F = W/2
FBD analysis of the upper pulley has one upward acting support vector T and three downward acting tension vectors F
T = 3F
T = 3(W/2)
T = 1.5W
