    Statics Homework help - find tension

    Hey so I figured out the majority of the problem. Im just having trouble breaking the three forces into their components. (mostly with the angle) Can someone please tell me if this is correct. T1 = BE = T1cos(26.6)\hat{i} + T2sin(26.6)\hat{j} T2 = BC = T2cos(18.4)\hat{j} +...

    Statics Homework help - find tension

    Statics Homework help -- find tension [b]1. In Figure P4.111 determine the tensions in cables BC and BE. Neglect the weights of all members and assume that the support at A is a ball-and-socket joint. The 5200-N force has no x component. (picture is attached below)[b]2. \Sigma Fx = 0 \Sigma Fy...
