Step 1
We have an object of mass 100 kg suspended by two cables. Let's label the angles between each cable and the horizontal as θ1 and θ2. Now, let's consider the forces acting on the object. There are two vertical forces acting on the object: the weight of the Show more…

A 34.0 kg mass (m) is suspended by the cable assembly as shown in the figure. The cables have no mass of their own. The cable to the left (T1) of the mass makes an angle of 0.00° with the horizontal, and the cable to the right (T2) makes an angle (θ2) of 36.4°. If the mass is at rest, what is the tension in each of the cables, T1 and T2? The acceleration due to gravity is g = 9.81 m/s^2. T1 = T2 =
