Question 81011: Two cables hold a 975 lb crate. The tension T1 and T2 equals 575lbs. Find ang
le theta.
I don't know if you can do this problelm without a picture.
The picture is a thin long rectangular shape with T1 and T2 forming a
triangle from this rectangle (the sides) and the crate (975lbs) is at the tip of the triangle. The angle theta is under the rectangular shape being the left and right angles of the triangle, if that makes sense? Answer by scott8148(6628) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! the weght of the crate is equally distributed between the cables, so each cable supports 975/2 or 487.5 lb
487.5 is the vertical component of the tension, which means that 575*sin(theta)=487.5
