funny how this one of the simplest problems out of the assignment and i was having trouble with it and easily solved the complex ones. Always the easy stuff that gets me, i guess i think about it too hard, make it more complex...
so do the sum of the forces in the x direction?
Wouldn't it then be T(CD)*cos70 - T(AB)*cos50 = 0 ?

Worked out the sum of the forces in x and y direction
solved for TAB Set them equal to each other and still wrong answer :(
Homework Statement
A small sphere of weight W is held as shown by two wires AB and CD. If wire AB is cut, determine the tension in the other wire (a) before AB is cut, (b) immediately after AB has been cut. (Ans: (a) TCD = 0.742 W; (b) TCD = 0.940 W)...
