Part 2 Choose 2 of the 3 questions. Write OMIT on the question you do not want graded. Each question is worth 25 points. 1. A 25.3 kg object is suspended 15.0 m above the ground from two ropes, as shown in the figure. The two ropes are equal in length and make the same angle of 520 with the vertical. If the 25.3 kg object is in equilibrium, find: a. The weight of the object I Rope A Rope B 52 52° b. The tension in each rope Rope A: 3.1: Rope B: 2391 N 25.3 ) 253kg,gtoat. T 474N

Explanation / Answer

a)

weight of the object

W = 25.3x9.8 = 247.94 N

b)

for horiontal equilibrium

Ta ( sin 52 ) = Tb sin 52

Ta = Tb

for vertical equilibrium

Tacos52 + Tb cos 52 = W

Ta = 201.36 N

Tb = 201.36 N
