A rigid wire frame is formed in a right triangle, and set in a vertical plane as shown. Two beads, of weight W1 =1.5 N and W2 = 2.5 N, slide without friction on the wires, and are connected by a cord. When the system is in static equilibrium, what is the tension in the cord, and what angle, 0, does it make with the first wire? 90° W2 = 2.5 N W1 = 1.5 N ,60° Horiz
