I think I figured it out... I was interpreting the problem to mean that the mass is 4 m horizontal distance from point A, but I think that the 4 m was supposed to be the length of T1 or the hypotenuse for my right triangle! If only story problems came with pictures! Thanks for you're reply...

Yes that is correct. Not sure if that was a statement or a question, but I'm past that part, drew my diagram and am stuck trying to suck Newtons out of meters and no angles somehow?

Homework Statement A rope is 10.0 m long and is attached at points A and B, which are at the same elevation 6.0 m apart. If a 50.0 kg mass is attached to the rope 4.0 m away from point A, what is the tension in the two segments of the rope? Homework Equations W = ma ƩFy = 0 = T1 + T2 - W...
