Answer:
Explanation:
Let the tension in horizontal rope be T₁ and in the other rope be T₂ which is making angle of 51.3⁰
The vertical component of tension T₂ will balance the weight .
= T₂ cos 51.3 = 2.9 x 9.8
T₂ = 2.9 x 9.8 / cos 51.3
= 28.42 / .625
= 45.47 N
The horizontal component of T₂ will balance T₁
T₂ sin 51.3 = T₁
45.47 sin 51.3 = T₁
T₁ = 35.48 N .
