Question

Suppose the traffic light is hung so that the tensions T1 and T2 are both equal to 81.5 N. Find the new angles they make with respect to the x axis. (By symmetry, these angles will be the same. Assume they are measured in the same manner as those shown in figure (c).)
 ° from the x axis

Expert Solution
Step 1

We know that the traffic light is hung so that the tensions T1 and T2 are both equal to 81.5 N. and By symmetry, these angles will be the same.

According to give, we draw a free body diagram of the system as
