A rope 5m long is fastened to two hooks 4m apart on a horizontal ceiling to the rope is attached a attached a 10kg mass so that the segment of the rope are 3m and 2m , compute the tension in each segment ?

3 answers

the rope forms a 2-3-4 triangle , with the longest side parallel to the ceiling

use the law of cosines to find one of the angles
...then use the law of sines to find the other two

the vertical components of the two tensions (2 and 3)
... are equal to the gravitational force on the 10 kg mass

drawing a force diagram may be helpful
It does not contain what I asked for
I don't understand
