Answer:
T = 10010 N
Explanation:
To solve this problem we must use the translational equilibrium relation, let's set a reference frame
X axis
Fₓ-Fₓ = 0
Fₓ = Fₓ
whereby the horizontal components of the tension in the cable cancel
Y Axis
2 = W
let's use trigonometry to find the angles
tan θ = y / x
θ = tan⁻¹ (0.30 / 0.50 L)
θ = tan⁻¹ (0.30 / 0.50 15)
θ = 2.29º
the components of stress are
F_{y} = T sin θ
we substitute
2 T sin θ = W
T = W / 2sin θ
T =
T = 10010 N
