In rock climbing, various rope and pulley systems have been devised to help haul up heavy loads, including injured climbers. A rescuer is hauling up an injured climber who weighs 570 NN using the rope and pulley system shown in (Figure 1). (The ropes in this figure are drawn at various angles for clarity, but you can assume they're all vertical.)
What is the tension in rope 1, the rope that the rescuer pulls on?
What is the tension in rope 2?
