Question

Transcribed Image Text:**Problem Statement:**
A 205 N sign is supported by two ropes. One rope pulls up and to the right at an angle \(\theta_1 = 31.5^\circ\) above the horizontal with a tension \(T_1\), and the other rope pulls up and to the left at an angle \(\theta_2 = 43.5^\circ\) above the horizontal with a tension \(T_2\), as shown in the figure. Find the tensions \(T_1\) and \(T_2\).
**User Input:**
- \(T_1 = 139 \, \text{N}\) (Incorrect)
- \(T_2 = 162.5 \, \text{N}\) (Incorrect)
**Diagram Explanation:**
The diagram shows an "EXIT" sign suspended by two ropes connected to a common point above the sign.
- The rope on the right creates an angle \(\theta_1 = 31.5^\circ\) with the horizontal and has a tension \(T_1\) represented by an orange arrow pointing upwards and to the right.
- The rope on the left creates an angle \(\theta_2 = 43.5^\circ\) with the horizontal and has a tension \(T_2\) represented by a purple arrow pointing upwards and to the left.
Both tensions combine to support the weight of the sign, which is 205 N.
