The S0-Ib crate is hoisted using the ropes AB and AC. Each rope can withstand a maximum tension of 2500 Ib before it breaks. If AB always remains horizontal, the smallest angle θ to which the crate can be hoisted.

Step 1
First, we need to find the forces acting on the crate. Since the crate is in equilibrium, the sum of the forces in the x and y directions must be equal to zero. Show more…

'3)The 200-kg crate a is suspended using the ropes AB and AC Each rope can withstand a maximum force of 10 kN before it breaks If AB always remains horizontal, determine the angle 0 to which the crate can be suspended before one of the ropes breaks.'

The two angled ropes are used to support the crate in Figure P5.7. The tension in the ropes can have any value up to $1500$ $\mathrm{N}$. When the tension exceeds this value, the ropes will break. What is the largest mass the ropes can support?
