Step 1
The tension in this cable can be calculated using the formula: T1 = Weight / sin(31°). Given that the weight is 33 N, we can plug in the values to find T1. Show more…

A 5,000-N weight is held suspended in equilibrium by two cables. Cable 1 applies a horizontal force to the right of the object and has a tension, T1. Cable 2 applies a force upward and to the left at an angle of 37.0° to the negative x-axis and has a tension, T2. What is the tension, T1? a. 3,340 N b. 8,310 N c. 9,120 N d. 4,000 N e. 6,640 N
