Homework Statement
A 20 kg mass is suspended by two ropes. Rope 1 goes to the wall horizonatlly from the left side of the mass. Rope 2 goes from the top right corner of the mass to the wall at an angle of 30 degrees from the horizontal top of the mass.
a- If the mass is at rest, what is the tension force in rope 2?
b- determine the tension in rope 1.
c- Find acceleration of the mass immidiately after rope 1 is cut.
Homework Equations
EF = ma
The Attempt at a Solution
1) T2y = w
T = w / sin 30 = mg / sin 30
= 392 N
2) ?
If I have done part 1 correctly, it seems like the tension in rope 1 would be 0?
