Refer to the diagram shown below.
The hoist is in static equilibrium supported by tensions in the two ropes.
For horizontal force balance, obtain
T₃ cos 50 = T₂ cos 38
0.6428T₃ = 0.788T₂
T₃ = 1.2259T₂ (1)
For vertical force balance, obtain
T₂ sin 38 + T₃ sin 50 = 350
0.6157T₂ + 0.766T₃ = 350 (2)
Substitute (1) into (2).
0.6157T₂ + 0.766(1.2259T₂) = 350
1.5547T₂ = 350
T₂ = 225.124 N
T₃ = 1.2259(225.124) = 275.979
Answer:
T₂ = 225.12 N
T₃ = 275.98 N
