Problem 6 My new 46.5-million-dollar painting, Marth Rothko's "Untitled (Yellow and Blue)", needs to be hung in my mansion. I have attached a cable rigidly to each top corner, which passes freely through a loop attached to the ceiling (treat this like an ideal pulley). The painting is 73.5 inches wide and once framed weighs 13 lbs. a. If I hang this with an 8 ft cable, how far from the ceiling will the top of the painting be and how much tension will there be in the cable? b. If the cable can support a maximum tension of 50 lbs, what is the minimum length of cable I can use? At this length, how far from the ceiling is the painting (h)? C. If I continued to increase the length of cable (and had space for it in my mansion!), what is the minimum tension that could be achieved in the rope? Assume the painting pulls straight down with half its weight at each rope attachment point. h Problem 6 My new 46.5-million-dollar painting, Marth Rothko's "Untitled (Yellow and Blue)", needs to be hung in my mansion.
