A traffic light weighing 122 N hangs from a cable tied to two other cablesfastened to a support. The upper cables make angles of 37.0◦ and 53.0◦with the horizontal. These upper cables are not as strong as the verticalcable, and will break if the tension in them exceeds 100 N. Will the trafficlight remain hanging in this situation, or will one of the cables break?
To hang a 6.20-kg pot of flowers, a gardener uses two wires—one attached horizontally to a wall, the other sloping upward at an angle of u = 40.0° and attached to the ceiling. Find the tension in each wire.P

- Jamal and Dayo are lifting a large chest, weighing 207 lb, by using the two rope handles attached to either side. As they lift and hold it up so that it is motionless, each handle makes a different angle with respect to the vertical side of the chest (Fig. P5.76). If the angle between Jamals handle and the vertical side is 25.0 and the angle between Dayos handle and the vertical side of the chest is 30.0, what are the tensions in each handle?
