A pair of students are lifting a heavy trunk on move-in day. (Figure 1) Using two ropes tied to a small ring at the center of the top of the trunk, they pull the trunk straight up at a constant velocity v⃗ . Each rope makes an angle θ with respect to the vertical. The gravitational force acting on the trunk has magnitude FG.
Find the tension T in each rope.
