- Homework Statement
- A 45 kg chandelier is suspended by two chains of lengths 5 m and 8 m attached to two points in the ceiling 11 m apart. Find the tension in the 5 m rope. Please include a neat diagram.
- Relevant Equations
- N/A
I've begun by drawing out the diagram. Since they want the tension in the 5m rope, I've broken it down into two vectors. I want to use T = mg + ma, but I don't think that's right because I don't have acceleration. Is there another formula I can use instead? Thanks!
