A traffic light weighing 122 N hangs from a cable tied to two other cables fastened to a support, the upper cable makes an angle of 37.0 and 53.0 with the horizontal. these upper cables are not as strong as the vertical cable and will break if the tension in them exceeds 100 N. will the traffic light remain hanging in this situation, or will one of the cables break ?
The attempt at a solution :
i thought that T3=T2+T1=mg
and T2 cos 53 + T2 sin53 + T1 cos 37 + T1 sin 37 = 1195.6
is that correct so far ??
