Question

Solve the given prblem . Show the complete solution.
1. A 178 N sign is supported in a motionless position by two ropes that each makes 22.5◦angles with
the horizontal. Answer: FT1 = FT2 = 232.56 N
a) Determine tension FT1
b) Determine FT1 = FT2
c) Determine the Fq

Answer 1

$$F_{T1}=F_{T2}=T\\2T\sin{22.5\degree}=F_w=178\\T=232.5\ N$$
