Static Equilibrium equal angles two cables

This is a static equilibrium problem where two cables are suspending a mass. The cables are set at equal angles to the horizontal. In this problem both of the cables have a vertical lifting component and share the load equally. You will use trigonometry to solve for the values of the tension on each of the cables.

You're a saint. Thank you for getting this information out here for us!

THANKS!! Understood this better than my science teacher!

[GAMMAFICATION]

Thank you very much really helped me to understand what my teacher couldn't help me with.

Finallyyyy cause the vids on YouTube didn't had same angle

[brySag]

Thank you so much for explaining this porblem it helps a lot.

The tension on the rope would go up since they would have to pull harder to balance the mass.

Because, to find the tension, you divided the lifting force by the Sin of the angle. The Sin gets smaller as it approaches 0 so the tension would increase.

very helpful and helped me solve the problem! thank you

two particles of equal masses are connected to the end of a string which has a length l. a particle of bigger mass is then fastened to the midpoint of the string. the central particle is projected with speed v normal to the string. find the speed of all particles and tension of the string when lateral particles are just to collide

[boredmonke]

you can't just divide the Fw by 2 to get the vertical components of the two tensions. you also have to use trigonometry like you did in the horizontal components

[vdchgffgv]

What recording program did you use for this? :D

[julianamonsalve]

what is the horizontal component of force?

[ZarBluestar]

Is it possible for T1 or T2 to have a tension force that is greater than the weight of the object, because I followed these steps with an object with a weight of 168N and each wire being 22.5 degrees from the horizontal, and I calculated the tension of each to be about 219.5N. Am I just psyching myself out, or have I done some sort of error? Thank you for the help.

[cherrylynrosesolis]

very clear, thanks. :)))) by the way there is something in your background that sounds kinda creepy.

[michaeljohnson]

9.8m/s squared is the acceleration of gravity. Weight = Mass time Acceleration.

[PeterWu]

the correct answer is 239.1 N for both T1 & T2. Your explanation of the problem is pretty horrible

[dhizzznutss]

What if the given is different angle how do i find their opposites?? Thanks in advance
