You don't need vector math for this, draw out the FBD of the intersect , you have two unknowns (T1, T2) and use the sum of forces at the x and at the y for this, you know they are in equilibrium as the ropes aren't breaking so their sums are always equal to zero.
I had more in here, but I'm...
\frac{\sqrt {x^{2}+1}}{x^{2}+1}-\frac{x^{2}}{(x^{2}+1)\sqrt{x^{2}+1}}=\frac{1}{\sq rt{x^{2}+1}}-\frac{x^{2}}{(x^{2}+1)^{\frac{3}{2}}}
You first multiply so all terms have a common divisor
\frac{\sqrt {x^{2}+1}*\sqrt{x^{2}+1}}{x^{2}+1}-\frac{x^{2}}{(x^{2}+1)\sqrt{x^{2}+1}}=\frac{1}{\sq...
Hi all,
So I have these two parachute problems that have been giving me problems any aid you can provide would be much apreciated!
Homework Statement
A)A probe is to land on the surface of Mars and I am required to find out the diameter of the parachute.
Given constance:
m=40kg...
