Find tension and angle from second rope

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the tension in a rope with given variables, including T1, T1 angle, and the mass of a man. The user has identified T1y and T2y as equal to mg but struggles to find the force in tension 2. Clarification is sought on the mathematical representation of these tensions and their components. There is also a question regarding the handling of the x components of the tensions and the vertical orientation of T1y and T2y. The conversation emphasizes the need for a clearer mathematical approach to solve the problem effectively.

Hi, I am having a seemingly hard time trying to find the tension in this rope. I've looked everywhere for a problem with these given variables but I found none. Here we are given: T1, T1 angle, mass of man and that is all. I included the picture here.

The Attempt at a Solution


I found, t1y, which is the same as t2y, and mg, but given this information, I can't discover the force in tension 2. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I included a picture of the problem.

What are t1 and t2? What do you mean with "I found, t1y, which is the same as t2y, and mg"? Write it mathematically.
And what about the x components of the tensions?
 
You are taking y as vertical yes? So how do you get that T1y=T2y?
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
