a) A 3.00-m-long, 290 N, uniform rod at the zoo is held in a horizontal position by two ropes at its ends in (Figure 1). The left rope makes an angle of 150∘ with the rod and the right rope makes an angle θ with the horizontal. A 86 N howler monkey (Alouatta seniculus) hangs motionless 0.50 m from the right end of the rod as he carefully studies you. a) Calculate the tension in the left rope. b) Calculate the tension in the right rope. c) Calculate the angle θ.
