Question

A sculpture is suspended in equilibrium by two cables, one from a wall and the other

Answer 1

Answer:

$T_1=6655.295917 \approx 6655.3N$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Angle of cable 2 $\theta=37.0\textdegree$

Weight of sculpture $W=5000 N$

Generally the Tension from cable 2 $T_2$ is mathematically given by

   $T_2sin37\textdegree=5000N$

   $T_2=5000N/sin37\textdegree$

   $T_2=8308.2N$

Generally the Tension from Cable 1 $T_1$ is mathematically given by

   $T_1=T_2 cos37\textdegree$

   $T_1=8308.2* cos 37\textdegree$

   $T_1=6655.295917 \approx 6655.3N$
