Problem
A shop sign of mass 4 kg hangs from a single continuous rope that changes direction by 90° as it passes over two frictionless pulleys: one segment is horizontal, and the other is vertical. The sign remains at rest. Determine (a) the magnitude of the tension in the horizontal segment and (b) the direction of the force that this segment exerts on the pulley supporting it.
