Solving Tension at an Angle: Friction, Force, Coefficient

[QUOTE="Yshai24, post: 4532413, member: 489782"] Thank you for the reply. I am still a bit confused though. I used the equation that my teacher worked out in class. When I do that equation with the coefficient of static friction that the answer gives, my solution is correct. So I know that it is the right formula, or at least will yield the right answer. The book gives and answer of μk=.594 and Force T = 116.7N You can see that if you use my equation, with the given coefficient, it will come out to 116.7. So I tried to do what you said and solve for T in the x direction but I honestly don't know what T would be. Isn't that the problem, that I don't know it? I initially thought that Tx had to be 75N because the friction is 75N. Is that correct? In that case, How would I solve for X? Tcos50 - 75N = ma 75N x cos50 - 75N? Still a bit lost here. Thanks for your time. [/QUOTE]
