Homework Statement
Ropes 3m and 5m in length are fastened to an object that is suspended over a cieling. the object has a mass of 5kg. the ropes, fastened at different heights, make angles of 52 degree and 40 degree with the horizontal. Find the tension in each wire, and the magnitude of each tention.
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I kno that the tension on one rope, A and the tension on the other rope, B equal to the mass times gravity.
so AT+BT = mg
and i want to find the a equation for AT and BT
Just wondering, since i kno the angle and length of the rope, i know the verticle component of the rope. But then i don't kno where to go after that
