Question

How did it resulted to 0.346? Isn't it supposed to be 3.3444?

The equilibrium equation of force in horizontal direction is,
Та cos 30°- Tв сos 45°
(IV)
TA = 0.81657;
• Ta is the tension in cord A
• Tg is the tension in cord B
The equilibrium equation of force in vertical direction is,
TA sin 30° + Tc = TB sin 45° (V)
Ta is the tension in cord A
• TB is the tension in cord B
• Tc is the tension in cord C
The equilibrium equation of force for suspended object is,
Tc = w (VI)
• Tc is the tension in cord C
• w is weight of suspended object
Conclusion:
Substitute 0.8165TB for TA and w for Te in eqs. (V) to find Tg.
(0.8165TB) sin 30° + w = Tg sin 45°
0.299TB = w
Тв — 3.346w
Substitute 3.346w for Tg in eqs. (IV) to find TĄ.
TA = 0.8165 x (3.346w)
TA = 2.732w
Therefore tension in cord A is 2.732w. Tension in cord B is 3.346w. Tension
in cord C is w.
