The aid of a free-body diagram is essential for solving this mechanics problem. The summation of horizontal and vertical forces in the system must be equal to zero since the body is in equilibrium. 

Summation of x-forces:

T*cos(40)-T*cos(40) = 0

y forces:

2T*sin(40) - 150 = 0

T = 150/2*sin(40) = 100.66 N

Therefore, the tension in each wire would be 100.66 Newtons.

What changes would result in a decrease in the gravitational force between two objects? Check all that apply.
REY [17]

<em>I'm sorry, it says check all that apply, however there are no choices given. You should edit, and add the multiple choice answers.</em>

My Answer:

Well if the masses of two objects were both decreased, it would result in a decrease in the gravitational force. So I guess the two objects masses would need to be decreased.
