Thank you for the help!

Consider two masses that hang from an overhead beam. The first mass of 69.0 kg is attached to the beam using an ideal rope. The second mass of 23.2 kgis attached to the first mass with an ideal rope and hangs directly under the first mass.

Explanation / Answer

The tension in the first rope (69Kg) is equal to the gravitaitonal pull = mg

T= 69*10=690 N

The tension in the second rope (23.2Kg) is equal to (m1+m2)g=T

(69+23.2)10= 922 N
