Jamal and Dayo are lifting a large chest, weighing 207 lb, by using the two rope handles attached to either side. As they lift and hold it up so that it is motionless, each handle makes a different angle with respect to the vertical side of the chest (Fig. P5.76). If the angle between Jamals handle and the vertical side is 25.0 and the angle between Dayos handle and the vertical side of the chest is 30.0, what are the tensions in each handle? FIGURE P5.76
A picture frame hung against a wall is suspended by two wires attached to its upper corners. If the two wires make the same angle with the vertical, what must this angle be if the tension in each wire is equal to 0.75 of the weight of the frame?
