A box is supported by 2 ropes. Rope 1 makes an angle of 46° 20' with the horizontal and has a tension of 89.6 lb. Rope 2 is horizontal. What is the weight of the box and the tension of rope 2.
resolve the tension 89.6 into horizontal=89.6cos angle and into vertical =89.6 sin angle(46 20) The horizontal one is = tension T2 and the vertical one is the weight
