Answer:

  • 892 lb (right)
  • 653 lb (left)

Step-by-step explanation:

The weight is in equilibrium, so the net force on it is zero. If R and L represent the tensions in the Right and Left cables, respectively ...

  Rcos(45°) +Lcos(75°) = 800

  Rsin(45°) -Lsin(75°) = 0

Solving these equations by Cramer's Rule, we get ...

  R = 800sin(75°)/(cos(75°)sin(45°) +cos(45°)sin(75°))

     = 800sin(75°)/sin(120°) ≈ 892 . . . pounds

  L = 800sin(45°)/sin(120°) ≈ 653 . . . pounds

The tension in the right cable is about 892 pounds; about 653 pounds in the left cable.

_____

This suggests a really simple generic solution. For angle α on the right and β on the left and weight w, the tensions (right, left) are ...

  (right, left) = w/sin(α+β)×(sin(β), sin(α))

What does simplify the expression mean in algebra?
Pavel [41]
Reduce the number of terms in the expression by operating on like terms 
for example
Simplify
x^2 - 3x + 4 + x^2 + 6x - 6

the like terms are the x^2 and x^2 , -3x and 6x and  4 and -6 

so we have
x^2 + x^2 - 3x + 6x + 4 - 6
= 2x^2 + 3x - 2

This is the simplified form of the original expression

#Equation of m?

<h3>Equation</h3>

m = E/c²

<h3>Way to find it</h3>

E = mc²

E : c² = m

E/c² = m

So, the formula of m is E/c²
