Answer:
Explanation:
Given
Weight of board [tex]W=125\ N[/tex]
Weight of person [tex]W_2=500 N[/tex]
Tension in the right chain is [tex]T_r=250\ N[/tex]
If board is in equilibrium then Net vertical force on it is zero
Suppose tension in the left chain is [tex]T_l[/tex] thus
[tex]T_l+T_r=W+W_1[/tex]
[tex]T_l=500+125-250[/tex]
[tex]T_l=375\ N[/tex]
