Question
Three ropes are connected to each other as shown in the figure. The tension in rope A, which hangs straight from the ceiling, is 378 N. Rope B has an angle of 31 degree with respect to vertical. Rope C has an angle of 15 with respect to horizontal. Answer with the tension in rope C.
Explanation / Answer
Tb * cos 31 + Tc* sin 15 = 378
Tb*sin 31 = Tc* cos 15
Tb = 379.83 N
Tc =202.5 N
