Homework Statement
An object of mass 100kg is hanging from a ceiling by means of 2 strings. The 1st string (t1) makes an angle of 55 degree with the horizontal-right. The scond string 9T-2) makes an angle of 25 degree with horizontal left. Calculate tension in the first string (T1)
Homework Equations
w = m|g|
wx = w cos θw
wy = w sin θw =
T1x = T1 cos θT1 =
T1y = T1 sin θT1 =
T2x = T2 cos θT2 =
T2y = T2 sin θT2 =
T1x + T2x + wx =
T1 =
T1y + T2y + wy =
