The rope is making an angle of 10°38' with the vertical and has a tension T of 2800 pounds. The horizontal rope is pulling and guiding the crate into place. Find the weight W of the crate and the tension H in the horizontal rope. H The weight W of the crate is pounds. (Round to the nearest tenth.)
Explanation / Answer
W = Tcos(10o38') = 2800cos(10o38') = 2751.91886 pounds
H = Tsin(10o38') = 2800sin(10o38') = 516.66487 pounds
