A hot air balloon with a buoyancy (Upward force) of 450N is being held by two
ropes of lengths 29 and 25 metres. The ropes are pegged into the ground 36
metres apart. Calculate the tension in each rope. You will first have to find the
angle at which each force vector is being applied. (hint: use cosine law and use
the length of the ropes and the distance between the rope to find the angles first)
*Buoyancy replaces the gravitational force*
