The discussion focuses on calculating tension in strings using algebraic equations. The user presents the equations for horizontal and vertical forces, specifically using the terms ΣFx and ΣFy. The correct expressions for tension T2 and T1 are confirmed, with a note to use sinθ instead of senθ. Additionally, it is suggested to express T1 in terms of mass m for further clarity.
PREREQUISITESStudents studying physics, educators teaching mechanics, and anyone interested in understanding the principles of tension in strings and static equilibrium.
Yes, looks good. (Use sinθ, not senθ.) You can go further by expressing T1 in terms of the mass m.live4physics said:
Nonetheless, this sort of textbook-style problem belongs in the "HW" forum, even if it's self study.
