Determine the tension T_(1) and T_(2) in the strings

1.	Determine the tension T_(1) and T_(2) in the strings
Answer» Solution :As shownin figureresolvethe tension `T_(1)` alonghorizontaland verticaldirection.Asthe BODYIS inequilibrium `T_(1)SIN 60^(@)=4 kgwt = 4 xx 9.8N` From (1) `T_(1) = (4XX 9.8)/(sin 60^(@))` `= (4xx 9.8xx 2)/( sqrt(3)) = 45.26N` from (2) `T_(2) = T_(1) cos 60^(@)` `45.26 xx 0.5 =22.63N`
