Problem 3) In Figure 1.3 below we see two ropes pulling on an eyebolt. We desire for the resultant of the two forces to act purely in the x-direction (i.e. no y-component) with a magnitude of 20 kN. What should the magnitude of the tension T be in the top rope? Also, at what angle, 0 must we pull the rope? Note that sketch may not be exactly to scale. 8 kN Figure 1.3: Eyebolt and ropes corresponding to Problem 3.
