Step 1
The weight (W) is acting vertically downward and it can be resolved into two components: a vertical component (Wv) and a horizontal component (Wh). The horizontal component (Wh) is given by W*sin(θ) and the vertical component (Wv) is given by W*cos(θ), where θ Show more…

A uniform plank of length 2.00 m and mass 33.5 kg is supported by three ropes, as indicated by the blue vectors in the figure below. Find the tension in each rope when a 720-N person is d = 0.500 m from the left end.

A board, with a weight $m g=120.0 \mathrm{~N}$ and a length of $5.00 \mathrm{~m}$, is supported by two vertical ropes, as shown in the figure. Rope $A$ is connected to one end of the board, and rope $B$ is connected at a distance $d=1.00 \mathrm{~m}$ from the other end of the board A box with a weight $M g=20.0 \mathrm{~N}$ is placed on the board with its center of mass at $d=1.00 \mathrm{~m}$ from rope $A$. What are the tensions in the two ropes?
