1.6 Determine the maximum weight of the flowerpot that can be supported without exceeding a cable tension of 50 lb in either cable AB or AC. Note that the 2 cables make an angle 60 and 53.1 respectively with the horizontal
Answered by drwls
Let T1 and T2 be the two cable tensions. The vertical force applied by cable 1 is T1 sin 60 and the lateral force is -T1 cos 60. For cable 2 is is +T2cos 53 lateral and T2 sin 53 vertical.
Write equations of static equilibrium in each direction and then solve for the two unknowns in terms of the mass M. The more vertical cable T1 will probably have the larger tension. Determine the flowerpot weight (in lb) that makes T1 = 50 lb

thats my problem why does the more vertical cable have the larger tension
