break up tensions into horizontal components. Draw the diagram.
vertical forces.
Let the angled cabel be on the left. So tension would be Tl for the left cable.
vertical forces:
Tl*sin37+Tright*sin0=625
Tl=625/sin37
horizonal forces:
Tl*cos37=Tr
solve for tension in the right cable, Tr
Find the Magnitude of the force exerted by each cable to support the 625 N punching bag. One cable is connected to the ceiling with an angle of 37 degrees and the other cable is connected perpendicular to the side wall (Horizontal). HELPP
