Consider the baby being weighed in Figure 4.25.

  

(a) What is the mass of the child and basket if a scale reading of 103 N is observed?

(b) What is the tension T in the cord attaching the child to the scale?

(c) What is the tension T' in the cord attaching the scale to the ceiling, if the scale has a mass of 0.500 kg?

(d) Draw a sketch of the situation indicating the system of interest used to solve each part. The masses of the cords are negligible.
