Algebra.Com's Answer #92031 by scott8148(6628)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! the vertical components of the tensions must sum to 100 lbs (to hold up the sign)\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the horizontal components of the tensions cancel each other (equal but opposite) __ otherwise, the sign would move\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "T1(sin(43))+T2(sin(62))=100\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "T1(cos(43))=T2(cos(62)) \n" ); document.write( " |
