Forces At Angles Practice
Cable 1 has a length of 60cm and measures a tension of 6.0N
Cable f2 has a length of 35cm and measures a tension of 8.0n
The angle between the pole and f2 is found to be 30 degrees
The angle between the second pole and f1 is unknown
The stoplight is stationary, not accelerating

Answer 3

resomle forces horizontally to find angle x.

there is no net force on the thing in the horizontal direction, as it is not moving in the horizontal direction. these are the only 2 forces acting in that direction.

can you do that? you have the 30deg angle. find the x angle.
