Find the force of tension in the chain. Determine the force of compression in the support bar. Be sure to include a free body diagram as part of your solution.
Now the only information given is a mass=20.4 kg and the angle 22 degrees.
If anyone could help me with this question, it would be greatly appreciated! THANK YOU SO MUCH in advance!
This is what I attempted to do to find a solution:
Fgravity= mg=20.4*9.8=200N
Then to find the tension I did the following:
Tcos(90-22degrees)-200N=0
0.375*T=200N
T=534N------> this would be our vertical component
Resolving horizontally gives:
x-Tcos(22)=0
x=534N*0.927
x=495N
