Answer:
T1 = 417.48N
T2 = 361.54N
T3 = 208.74N
Explanation:
Using the sin rule to fine the tension in the strings;
Given
amass = 42.6kg
Weight = 42.6 * 9.8 = 417.48N
The third angle will be 180-(60+30)= 90 degrees
Using the sine rule
W/Sin 90 = T3/sin 30 = T2/sin 60
Get T3;
W/Sin 90 = T3/sin 30
417.48/1 = T3/sin30
T3 = 417.48sin30
T3 = 417.48(0.5)
T3 = 208.74N
Also;
W/sin90 = T2/sin 60
417.48/1 = T2/sin60
T2 = 417.48sin60
T2 = 417.48(0.8660)
T2 = 361.54N
The Tension T1 = Weight of the object = 417.48N
