yah i know that the force due to gravity ( or the tension in y direction) is diff for both strings
but isn't the tension in x direction same
and i think the tension in x direction is the centripetal force on the object which is also in the x direction
which is 790 N
 
Physics news on Phys.org
the tension in the strings is at a 45 degree angle. this means the x and y components are equal. no, the x's are not both equal to each other
 
ok i m confused
y say the x and y are equal
but the xs are not ?
 
so can you please give me a clear answer
please please !
 
the x and y on the US are equal to each other.
the x and y on the LS are different, but equal to themselves.
 
ohh okay
i c what u mean
but if the x and y on both r diff
how r they still forming a 90 degree angle at the point they meet on the object
 
because each rope is at 45 degrees. I'm sorry but i need to go for now. i hope you can get it and if not, i'll be back in a few hours.
 
thanks a lot for all your help
 
I have the same problem with this task... Anyone solved it? Please?? It's urgent.
