Find tension T1, tension T2, tension T3, tension T4, tension T5 and the magnitude of force vector F.
Homework Equations
T=ma
The Attempt at a Solution
I have figured out every single tension except for T_4 and it has me stumped.Here are all the other answers
t_1=ma
t_2=((ma)/2) = t_3 = t_5 = "Magnitude of Force F"
t_4 has me stumped however. I thought it may be ((ma)/3) since it was being held up by t_2, t_4 and t_5 but that was wrong. Could anyone either explain it to me or link me to a decent explanation?
edit: i realize i included no numbers for my correct answers.
"m" times "a" comes out to 137.2N
