A friend gave this to me and i have never taken physics could use some help on how to solve this.
Homework Equations
Have no clue
The Attempt at a Solution
Have researched and came up with this probably not correct
T1sin42+T2sin18=0
T1cos42-T2cos18=0
lilgen said:T1sin42+T2sin18-90=0
T1cos42-T2cos18=0
T1=T2cos18/cos42
T2cos18/cos42*sin12+sin18-90=0
T2=89.23
T1=157.92
Is this the way you were talking about doing it? I am wanting to learn it thank you for your help.
Tension is a force that is created when an object is pulled or stretched. It is a measure of the amount of force that is being applied to an object.
Tension can be calculated using the formula T = F/A, where T is the tension, F is the force applied, and A is the cross-sectional area of the object.
T1 and T2 are the tensions in two different strings or ropes that are connected to an object. They are typically used in physics problems to calculate the forces acting on an object.
To solve for the tension in T1 and T2, you will need to know the forces acting on the object and the angles at which the strings are pulling. Using this information, you can set up equations and solve for T1 and T2 using the formula T = F/A.
Tension is typically measured in units of Newtons (N) in the metric system or pounds (lbs) in the imperial system. These units represent the amount of force being applied to an object.
