Problem w/ Luffing Jib Load, With and Without Sheave Pulley
Relevant Equations
F = M x a
Now I am working with a DIY Luffing Jib Crane.

Mys subcon said that:
Tension of red rope for hanging a blue box load at the tip of the boom i(A) s as the same as hanging it with pulley and tied to the motor/ground_B (System in a Static Load Condition)..
Blue Rope and Pulley weights are neglected.

What are you assuming by (C) and (D)?

Have you established in your mind why there is identical tension in the red cable in (A) and (B)?
It is indeed in C, the tension of red Rope is bigger the in D, because the load in C is double pulled by load and ground.
