Answer

(a) increase (b) $1.03N$

Work Step by Step

(a) We know that $T_2=\frac{T_1}{1+\frac{m}{2M}}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $T_2=\frac{1.1N}{1+\frac{0.080Kg}{2(0.62Kg)}}$ $T_2=1.03N$ Thus, if the mass of the cart is doubled then the tension $T_2$ increases to $1.03N$ (b) We have calculated the value of $T_2=1.03N$ as in part(a).
