The tension in the rope B is determined as 10.9 N.
<h3>
Vertical angle of cable B</h3>
tanθ = (6 - 4)/(5 - 0)
tan θ = (2)/(5)
tan θ = 0.4
θ = arc tan(0.4) = 21.8 ⁰
<h3>Angle between B and C</h3>
θ = 21.8 ⁰ + 21.8 ⁰ = 43.6⁰
Apply cosine rule to determine the tension in rope B;
A² = B² + C² - 2BC(cos A)
B = C
A² = B² + B² - (2B²)(cos A)
A² = 2B² - 2B²(cos 43.6)
A² = 0.55B²
B² = A²/0.55
B² = 65.3/0.55
B² = 118.73
B = √(118.73)
B = 10.9 N
Thus, the tension in the rope B is determined as 10.9 N.
