Draw a free-body diagram of all the forces acing on the mass m and for all the forces acting on both the pulleys.
Show that the minimum tension T1 for the mass to start sliding up the slope is about 3580 N.
Hence, determine the tensions T2, T3 and the minimum force F for the mass to start sliding up the slope.
Assuming that the cables with tensions T2 and T3 remain parallel to the inclined slope, determine the magnitude of the tension T in the strong cable just as the mass starts sliding up the slope.
