Homework Statement
This will probabaly seem like a very simple question and maybe I'm wayy over thinking it.
This goes back to forces on an anchor system.. let's say I have two pieces of rope holding up a 70 kg load.. each rope is attached to a separate anchor.. the two ropes are perfectly parallel so there is no angle between the two..
how do i know that's the load will be split between the two.. what's the proof.
I have T1 and T2 acting up in the same direction... (not sure on magnitude).. and mg acting down
so
T1 + T2 = mg = 686 N
but how do i know T1 = T2 which it clearly does...
