Figure shows a section of an alpine cable-car system. The maximum permitted mass of each car with occupants is 2800 kg. The cars, riding on a support cable, are pulled by a second cable attached to each pylon. What is the difference in tension between adjacent sections of pull cable if the cars are accelerated up to 35° incline at 0.81 m/s2?

The magnitude of the weight of the trolley can be calculated by multiplying the mass of the trolley and the acceleration due to gravity.

Rounding off to 2 significant figures,
235-858_1.PNG
Therefore the magnitude of the difference in tension between adjacent section of pull cable is 1.8 x 104 N.
