Consider a 603 N cat burglar supported by a cable as shown in the figure. Given: 42.9° a) Find the tension in the inclined cable. Answer in units of N. b) Find the tension in the horizontal cable. Answer in units of N.
Added by Hannah P.
Step 1
The cat burglar is not moving, so the sum of the forces in the vertical direction must be zero. The vertical component of the tension in the inclined cable must balance the weight of the cat burglar. The vertical component of the tension (T) in the inclined Show more…
