    A weight suspended by two strings

    So the final answer would look something like this? Or am I multiplying the top and bottom wrong? I aplogize I forget to remove the extra m from this one, but I'm a bit confused as to why it would cancel. The starting equation has 1 m on one side, and 2 on the other. Wouldn't only one m on...

    A weight suspended by two strings

    I went ahead and plugged in the equations from part A to solve part B, let me know if I messed up somewhere please

    A weight suspended by two strings

    Alright, so using the same methods as above I solve for T2 in a similar manner. This should take care of part A, assuming this is correct?

    A weight suspended by two strings

    Something like this? I have two versions as I was unsure whether to combine the terms or divide the sin Thank you all for your replies though, it has been a while since any sort of math class and I know I'm still really rough on it

    A weight suspended by two strings

    This is what I end up getting but it really doesn't seem right. Once again I apologize for my incredibly rusty algebra

    A weight suspended by two strings

    Kind of like this? Or am I not doing this correctly? EDIT: Obviously I didn't solve this yet, but when solved would this be correct? I haven't solved it because I have trouble getting T1 by itself since there is two of them in the equation

    A weight suspended by two strings

    Okay, let me start with A and see if I'm on the right track Lets say I keep what I got for T2. Would I substitute that in for the second equation and solve for T1? My algebra is admittedly kind of rusty, and I'm having trouble isolating both T1s by themselves when I do that

    A weight suspended by two strings

    Homework Statement A weight is suspended by two strings at two different angles (the picture is included in the attempted solution) a.) Find the expressions for the tension in each of the strands b.) Assuming the tension, T1, does not change, what will be the acceleration of the weight if the...
