    How Do You Calculate the Tension in Multiple Wires Supporting Artifacts?

    This is where i get confused because i thought they are all at equilibrium because the weight is -314N and the T1 is 314N right? so they equal 0 then for the -175N is there another tension force going up? so wouldn't they equal zero as well? but then i know there's two more tension forces...

    How Do You Calculate the Tension in Multiple Wires Supporting Artifacts?

    ok so for \SigmaFx = -T2 + 175sin53 = 0 so T2 = 139.76 ? \SigmaFy = 489cos53 = 294.28 ? am i suppose to divide something by something? like the weight divided by sin53 ??

    How Do You Calculate the Tension in Multiple Wires Supporting Artifacts?

    Hi! thank you! the 175 N is the weight of the first object so yes the unit of Newtons i have no idea why i was solving for N i didnt know what to solve for if it equals 0 that's why.

    How Do You Calculate the Tension in Multiple Wires Supporting Artifacts?

    Homework Statement HI! ok i drew the problem out. Question: Two artifacts in a museum display are hung from vertical walls by very light wires. Find the tension in each of the three wires. Homework Equations \SigmaFy=0 \SigmaFx=0 The Attempt at a Solution Ok so i...
