Leonardo da Vinci and the resolution of forces. Leonardo (1452–1519) asked himself how the weight of a body, supported by two strings of different length, is apportioned between the two strings.

Three forces are acting at the point D: the tensions and in the strings and the weight . Leonardo believed that

Was he right? (Source: Les Manuscripts de Léonard de Vinci, published by Ravaisson-Mollien, Paris, 1890.)
Hint: Resolveinto a horizontal and a vertical component; do the same for . Since the system is at rest, the equationholds. Express the ratios
and . In terms ofand , using trigonometric functions, and compare the results.
