In 1923, the United States Army (there was no U.S. Air Force at that time) set a record for in-flight refueling of airplanes. Us
ing two refueling planes, an Airco DH-4B biplane was able to remain in flight for 37 hours. During the flight, the refueling planes were able to air-transfer a total of 687 gallons of fuel to the plane in 9 refueling transfers. Assume that the refueling nozzle had a diameter of 1.45 inches and each refueling took 2.31 minutes to perform. Calculate the velocity of the fuel through the nozzle. Assume that the fuel filled the entire cross-sectional area of the nozzle..

Explanation:
It is given that,
Mass of the box, m = 100 kg
Left rope makes an angle of 20 degrees with the vertical, and the right rope makes an angle of 40 degrees.
From the attached figure, the x and y component of forces is given by :
Let and
is the resultant in x and y direction.
As the system is balanced the net force acting on it is 0. So,
.............(1)
..................(2)
On solving equation (1) and (2) we get:
(tension on the left rope)
(tension on the right rope)
So, the tension on the right rope is 1063.36 N. Hence, this is the required solution.
