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

notka56 [123]

Answer:

She can consider using agricultural waste or dried dung.

Explanation:

No doubt, biomass has become a crucial source of energy to the society, with almost 90% of the households in rural area now relying on biomass for energy. Biomass has become a great option for household heating and cooking. It is locally available and abundant. It is a clean type of fuel, unlike fossil fuels and it somehow helps in cleaning our environment as it traps carbondioxide. Some common types of biomass include dried dung, agricultural waste, or even charcoal.
