    Equilibrium in a tractive apparatus - tension and pulleys

    Ok I think I got it. Someone else posted a similar problem that I didn't find before. So tension is the same through the entire rope = 98N Knowing that I found the x & y components of the two known angles, 45 and 75. These components have to combine with those of F to equal 0. Then I...
