Let
F=tension of cable on the left
x=angle of left cable makes with the horizontal

Resolve forces vertically (y-direction)
331=550sin(12)+Fsin(x) =>
Fsin(x)=331-550sin(12)=216.649..........(1)

Resolve forces horizontally (x-direction)
Fcos(x)=550cos(12) =>
Fcos(x)=537.981............................(2)

Divide (1) by (2)
tan(x)=Fsin(x)/Fcos(x)=0.40271
x=atan(0.40271) = 21.935 °

From (2),
F=537.981/cos(x)=537.981/0.92761 = 579.965 N

Check:
Fsin(x)+550sin(12)=579.965*sin(21.935)+550*sin(12) = 331.000  ok
Fcos(x)=537.981
550sin(12)=537.981   ok

Two hicers are 13 miles apart and walking toward each other. They meet in 2 hours. Find the rate of each hiker if one hiker walk
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let r be the rate of the slower walker in mph

[r + (r + 1.7)](2) = 13

    (2r + 1.7)(2) = 13

         4r + 3.4 = 13

                  4r = 9.6

                    r = 2.4 mph

            r + 1.7 = 4.1 mph
