Explanation:
First, we must draw a free body diagram of the steel ball hanging and the two wires holding it as well as the angle forming the wires between them.
The free-body diagram can be seen in the attached image.
As the cables are symmetrical with respect to the vertical axis, the force in cables 1 and 2 is equal, so when performing a force sum equal to zero on the Y-axis, we can find the force value of any cable.
The solution of the equations can be seen in the attached image
Answer:
Let the weight of the person be W and be located at a distance 'a' from the left scale as shown in the figure
Since the body is in equilibrium we can use equations of statics to analyse the problem.
Taking Sum of Moments about A we have
Taking Sum of Moments about B we have
Solving the above 2 equations for W and 'a' we get
