Answer

Since the tension in the cord is less than 1% of the cord's limit, we can conclude that the tension is not near the cord's limit.

Work Step by Step

In part (c), we found that the tension in the cord is $~~380~N$ We can express this tension as a percentage of the cord's limit of $52~kN$: $\frac{380~N}{52,000~N}\times 100\% = 0.73\%$ Since the tension in the cord is less than 1% of the cord's limit, we can conclude that the tension is not near the cord's limit.
