91Ó°ÊÓ

The 1000 kg steel beam is supported by two ropes. What is the tension in each?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Tension in rope 1 is6035.5N

Tension in rope 2 is4128.5N

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Weight of beam-=1000KG

Angle between rope 1and perpendicular is20°

Angle between rope 2and perpendicular is30°

02

Assumptions

Let rope 1 be R1and rope 2be R2.

Tension of rope 1=TR1

Tension of rope 2=TR2

Point 0(mg)is where two ropes are connected.

03

Calculation of tension in each rope
