### Problem Description:A wrecking ball is suspended below two cables, each at an angle with the horizontal. The left cable has tension \( T1 \) and forms an angle \( α \) of 42 degrees with the horizontal. The right cable has tension \( T2 \) and forms an angle \( β \) of 26 degrees with the horizontal. The wrecking ball has a mass of 120 kg.**Objective:**Find the magnitude of tension \( T1 \).### Detailed Diagram Explanation:The diagram illustrates a rectangular structure from which a wrecking ball is suspended. Two cables attach the wrecking ball to the rectangular structure, one on the left and one on the right. - The left cable makes an angle \( \alpha \) of 42 degrees with the horizontal and has a tension represented by \( \overrightarrow{T1} \).- The right cable makes an angle \( \beta \) of 26 degrees with the horizontal and has a tension represented by \( \overrightarrow{T2} \).### Key Elements in the Diagram:1. **Rectangular Structure:** - The point of attachment for both cables.2. **Cables:** - Left Cable (\( \overrightarrow{T1} \)) forms an angle \( \alpha \) (42 degrees) with the horizontal. - Right Cable (\( \overrightarrow{T2} \)) forms an angle \( \beta \) (26 degrees) with the horizontal.3. **Wrecking Ball:** - Mass of 120 kg.### Required Calculation:To find the magnitude of tension \( T1 \):1. **Identify Forces:** - The gravitational force acting downward on the wrecking ball: \( F_g = m \cdot g \), where \( m \) is 120 kg and \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²). \[ F_g = 120 \, \text{kg} \times 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 = 1176 \, \text{N} \]2. **Establish Equilibrium Conditions:** - For horizontal components: \(\sum F_x = T1 \cos(\alpha) - T2 \cos(\beta) = 0\) - For vertical components: \(\sum F_y = T

A block is pressed against a vertical wall by a force F, as the drawing shows. This force can either push the block upward at a constant velocity or allow it to slide downward at a constant velocity. The magnitude of the force is different in the two cases, while the directional angle is the same.

A car of mass m₁ 1000 kg is connected to a trailer of mass m2 = 400 kg by a taut inextensible cable. The car's engine provides a constant forward driving force Fx = 7000 N, which causes the car-plus-trailer to accelerate forwards along the horizontal x-axis. The tension of the cable produces a force on the trailer and also a force on the car. You may assume that the magnitude of the two forces is the same. You may also ignore friction. What is the tension in the cable joining the car to the trailer? Give your answer by entering a number, correct to an appropriate number of significant figures, in the empty box below.
