Problem related to vector diagram. Thanks.

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a problem involving a vector diagram where a ring is at rest, indicating that the sum of all forces acting on it is zero. Participants express confusion about calculating the components of vector A and how they relate to vectors B and C for equilibrium. There are mentions of blurry images shared for reference, and one user emphasizes the importance of equating vertical and horizontal components of force when analyzing the situation. The conversation highlights the need for clarity in visual aids and understanding the fundamental principles of static equilibrium. Overall, the thread underscores the challenges faced in solving vector-related problems in physics.

Ya can't figure anything on this problem? Ya can't at least calculate the components of vector A?

The ring is at rest. What does this tell you about the sum of all of the forces acting on it?

Attempted the question. Attached is my working. Does it make sense?
 
You double quoted my post. Do you have anything else to add?

Well, now you're double posting blurry images, but it looks like you have decomposed vector A into its components.

NOTE: Your last image post came out sharp and clear. :smile:

Do you understand how the components of A must match up with vectors B and C to put the ring in equilibrium?

Sorry for the blurry images and the double postings.

Haha..

Actually, I may need help with the reasoning. Hehe
 
Next time you attempt these questions, remember when a body is at rest, you can equate vertical and horizontal components of force to work out tension or whatever quantity you are trying to find.
