Find the required horizontal and vertical components of the given vectors.
A car is being unloaded from a ship. It is supported by a cable from a crane and guided into position by a horizontal rope. If the tension in the cable is and the cable makes an angle of with the vertical, what are the weight of the car and the tension in the rope? (The weight of the cable is negligible to that of the car.)
Solution
VerifiedThe resultant of the forces must be 0 in order for the car to maintain suspended. Hence, the is equal to the vertical component of the cable in magnitude and the tension in the horizontal rope is equal to the horizontal component of the cable in magnitude.
