Homework Statement
A 40.0 kg uniform platform is suspended by two cables, 2.00 m apart, where the centre of the platform lies midway between the cables. A 5.00 kg paint bucket is placed on the platform, 24.0cm to the right of the right cable, as shown in Figure A2.15. What is the tension in each cable?
Homework Equations
net torque = 0
