Homework Statement
There is a 40 Newton beam being held by a rope. The rope is attached at the top of the beam and the ground making a 25 degree angle at the top of the beam. There is a force applied to the beam with 200 Newtons in the positive x direction. Find the tension and static friction.
All I think I have figured out is:
Ftoty = T(cos 25) - 200
T = 200
cos 25
T = 220.676NFtotx = 200N - Fs - Tsin 25
Fs = 200N - (220.676 sin 25)
Fs = 106.738
Not sure if this is correct.
