Explanation / Answer

here,

w = 171 N

m = 28 kg

let the tension in horizontal wire and the inclined wire be T1 and T2

and tension in vertical wire be T3

T3 = m*g

T3 = 28*9.8

T3 = 274.4 N

equating the forces horizontally

T1 - T2*sin(53) = 0 ...(1)

equating the forces vertically

T2*cos(53) - w - T3 = 0

T2*0.6018 - 171 - 274.4 = 0

T2 = 740.11 N

putting T2 in equation (1)

T1 - 740.11 * sin(53) = 0

T1 = 591.08 N

the tension T1 = 591.08 N

the tension T2 is 740.11 N

the tension T3 is 274.4 N

part d)

No , the answer is not different ,

the answers does not depend on the length of wires
