The forces were originally in grams, so we converted them to Newotons by mutliplying the mass by 10^-3, then multiplying b y 9.8 m/s So... the Newton would be Kg*m/s... This is why I was thinking I had to convert my measurements to meters, so everything jived together. Am I correct in...

In my general physics lab, we are trying to show that certain systems are in equilibrium. The apparatus that we are using for rotational equilibrium consists of a boom resting on an axis point, attached to a string/pully that has a given tension. The measured forces in the lab are in...

Thanks for taking the time to help. I rechecked my answers by putting them back into the X-component equation and they equal out to zero. I must have messed up when I was checking my answers before. Thanks! Chris

t1 = 130.541 t2 = 175.877

Homework Statement A box with a weight of 200 Newtons is hung from ropes as shown below. Calculate the tension in each of the three ropes supporting the box. Homework Equations \SigmaF_{x}=0 \SigmaF_{y}=0 The Attempt at a Solution We know right from the start that the...
