Problem 5:
Inputs:
L = 1.6 m
m = 65 kg
0 = 25°
Determine the tension in the three cables. The
mass of the plate, m, acts through the center of
gravity G, which is located one-third of the
distance from M along line MC. In other words,
the distance M to G is one-third the distance from
M to C. The plate is an equilateral triangle. Line
MC bisects line AB.
