I will explain this in below
The Attempt at a Solution
T2 + T1 sin 50 = 10 I first balanced vertical forces
T1 cos 50 = F And then I balanced the horizontal forces
.15 T2 +.075 F = .15 T1 sin 50 And balancing torques...
.15 (10 - .766 T1) + .075 * .643 * T1 = .15 * .766 T1 I substituted this into torque equation
T1 = 8.26 N
T2 = 3.67 N
F = 5.31 N
Check: 3.67 + 8.26 * .766 = 10
But they are very different from the real answer. What is wrong? And how can T1 be 11.2 N?
T2 would have to be directed downwards to balance the 10N weight of the picture, I think.
