Find the tension in the two cords shown in the figure above. Neglect the mass of the cords, and assume that the angle is 38° and the mass m is 220 kg

[Take g = 9.8 ms-2]

W = mg = 220 x 9.8 = 2156 N

⇒Sin 38º = \(\frac{2156}{T_1}\)

⇒ \(T_1\) = \(\frac{2156}{Sin 38}\)

⇒ \(T_1\) = 3502 N

Cos 38º = \(\frac{T_2}{T_1}\)

⇒ \(T_2\) = 3502 x Cos 38º

⇒ \(T_2\) = 2760 N

; \(T_1\) = 3502 N, \(T_2\) = 2760 N.

There is an explanation video available below.
