A 50 kg sign is hanging from the ceiling .calculate the tension in the ropes?30 degree and 20 degree
3 answers
how are the ropes attached, and how is the angle measured?
It's either T1cos30 + T2cos20 = mg
and T1sin30 = T2sin20
or
T1sin30 + T2sin20 = mg
and T1cos30 = T2cos20
depending on the where the angle is.
Either way you'll have to solve the second set for one variable and substitute it into the first.
