Figure A shows a weight-and-rope system held in equilibrium be means of two fixed and frictionless pulleys. If W1 id 50 N, find the values of W2 and W3. In the equilibrium configuration in the figure A, using frictionless pulleys, find the maximum value of W2 if the can sustain a tension of 200 N before breaking.
