This question looks really simple, but I'm having surprising difficulty with it.
A hemisperical sign 1 metre in diameter and of uniform mass density is supported by two ropes, as shown in the diagram. What fraction of the sign's weight is supported by each rope?
I am having trouble conceptualizing the question. What is the concept here, and how do I apply what I know in order to figure this out?
