If a sign were hung like the one above, what would the tension forces acting on both of the ropes? | If a sign were hung like the one above, what would the tension forces acting on both of the ropes? | ||
==== Setup ==== | ==== Setup ==== | ||
+ | To solve for the force of tension in both rope 1 and 2, both forces have to broken down into their x and y components and then solve the resulting system of equations. | ||
=== Facts ==== | === Facts ==== | ||
- | * | + | *The system is stationary |
+ | *Gravity works in the negative y direction, with $g=9.81m/ | ||
+ | *There are two forces of tension, on for rope 1, and one for rope 2 | ||
+ | *Mass of the object? | ||
+ | *Angles of the ropes? | ||

- | | + | *The lengths of the two ropes is irrelevant, only the angle matters to solve for the two forces |
