Question 1099988: Chains support a crate, as shown on the right. The equations relating tensions Upper T1 and Upper T2 are given below. Determine the tensions to the nearest 1N from the graph.
0.6T1-0.4T2=16
0.4T1+0.6T2=64
What is the solution to T1 and T2? (round to the nearest whole number as needed) Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Solve: We'll use substitution. After moving 0.4*T2 to the right, we get: , or . Substitute that
into another equation: and simplify: So, we know that T2=160. Since , T1=-80.
