Physics

To find the tension in each rope when a box is suspended, we can use the equilibrium condition for the vertical components of the tension.

1. The weight of the box is given as 100 N.

2. Let be the tension in each rope. Since each rope makes an angle of 30° with the vertical, the vertical component of the tension can be expressed as:

Using , the equation for the vertical forces becomes:
