Child and a pully, forces.?

An inventive child wants to reach an apple in a tree without climbing the tree. Sitting in a chair connected to a rope that passes over a frictionless pulley (Fig. P4.79), the child pulls on the loose end of the rope with such a force that the spring scale reads 280 N. The child’s true weight is 310 N, and the chair weighs 160 N.

First, what is the force the pulley exerts on the tree? Since the child, chair and (massless) rope are all suspended, it has to be to sum of the masses ie, 310+160 = 470N.

Next, imagine the system at equilibrium: what is the tension in EACH of the two lengths of rope with the child motionless? How does that compare to the measured tension on the rope s/he is pulling? That should get you through (a).

for (b) remember that the child is accelerating upwards, and gravity is pulling downwards, so draw a freebody diagram and determine the force necessary.

Since this is obviously a homework problem that’s enough of a hint for now. Good luck…
