Problem 5-57 Translational Equil.- A
A sign outside a hair stylist's shop is suspended by two wires. The force of gravity on the sign has a magnitude of 55.7N. If the angles between the wires and the horizontal are as shown in the figure, determine the magnitude of the tensions in the two wires.
[Ans. T1=49.9N; T2=40.8N]
No. The weight of 55.7N has not been included and it is a real force.
