Two cables suspend a 500 N sign above the hallway. The left cable makes a 40 degree angle with the ceiling and the right cable makes a 50 degree angle with the ceiling. What is the tension in the left and right cables?
Answered by bobpursley
The tension is such that it holds the signs up, and the cable is in equilibrium.

first of all, the weight:

500=T*sin40+T*sin50

solve for T
