Question

(Figure 1)A chandelier with mass mmm is attached to the ceiling of a large concert hall by two cables. Because the ceiling is covered with intricate architectural decorations (not indicated in the figure, which uses a humbler depiction), the workers who hung the chandelier couldn't attach the cables to the ceiling directly above the chandelier. Instead, they attached the cables to the ceiling near the walls. Cable 1 has tension T1T1T_1 and makes an angle of θ1θ1theta_1 with the ceiling. Cable 2 has tension T2T2T_2 and makes an angle of θ2θ2theta_2 with the ceiling.

Find an expression for T1, the tension in cable 1, that does not depend on T2.

Express your answer in terms of some or all of the variables m, θ1, and θ2, as well as the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity g. You must use parentheses around θ1 and θ2, when they are used as arguments to any trigonometric functions in your answer.

The image depicts a chandelier suspended from the ceiling using two cables. The diagram is as follows:

- The chandelier, represented by a solid circle labeled "m," hangs directly below the ceiling.
- Two cables, labeled "Cable 1" and "Cable 2," support the chandelier. Cable 1 is attached to the left side, forming an angle labeled \( \theta_1 \) with the ceiling. Cable 2 is attached to the right side, forming an angle labeled \( \theta_2 \) with the ceiling.
- A coordinate system is shown with axes labeled "x" (horizontal) and "y" (vertical), indicating the orientation of the system.

This setup is typically used to analyze forces and angles in physics problems involving equilibrium and tension in cables.
