A 180 pound weight is supported by two ropes each at 30 degrees, as shown in the figure. Find the tension in each rope.

Sagot :

Answer:

= 41.32N  

To find N amount

You find the kg weight then times it by 10 then divide that amount by 1/2

So that 180pounds = 81.6466 x 10kg

x10 = 816.466

81.6466 / 2 = 40.8233

sin(30) = 40.8233/T

T =  40.8233/sin (30) =  N / sin(30) = Tension = calculator = -41.3178070464 = 41.32 N
