N"Confirming Answers to Vector Splitting Problem

In summary, the problem involves finding the tension in three different vectors, labeled T1, T2, and T3, using components and equations. The vertical component of T1 is equal to the weight of a mass, which is 40*9.8=392N, making T1=452.6N. The horizontal component of T2 is equal to the sum of the horizontal components of T1 and T3, and the vertical component of T3 is equal to the weight of the mass, also 392N. This results in T3=653.3N. Plugging in these values, T2=748N.

a little help pleasezz

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b283/NMchugh/Various/vectors.png

i'd like just some confirmation on my answers and thanks alot.the link is the question.

well calling AB=T1, BC=T2 and BD=T3
recommend splitting vectors into components and equating them...

Vertical Component of T1 = T1*sin60 = weight of mass = 40*9.8=392N therefore T1 = 452.6N

now T2 = horizontal components of T1 & T3 = (T3*4/5)+(T1*Cos60)
now Vert. comp. T3 = T3*3/5 = Vert. comp. T1 = weight of mass =392N (from first line)
therefore T3=653.3N

now substitute T3 = 635.3N and T1 = 452.6N into the equation for T2 above and you find T2=748
