Finding the tension of two cables holding an object at rest
A 30 kg sphere is held stationary by two cables. One cable is attached at 60° above horizontal. The second cable is horizontal and attached at the side of the sphere. Find the tension in both cables. Newton's 2nd law: F=ma, which means a = (∑F/m) We can also find the weight: W = mg Let's say...- WOLFY302
