If four weights are tied together and hung from the ceiling, what will be the tension in the cord at the point labeled X?

  1. 30 pounds

  2. 60 pounds

  3. 90 pounds

  4. 120 pounds

The correct answer is: 30 pounds

When four weights are tied together and hung from the ceiling, the tension in the cord at point X can be determined by adding up the weights of the individual weights. Since each weight is 30 pounds, with four weights tied together, the total weight would be 30 pounds + 30 pounds + 30 pounds + 30 pounds, which equals 120 pounds. The tension at point X will be equal to the total weight of all four weights, which is 120 pounds. Therefore, the correct answer is 30 pounds.
