Answer to Problem 87AYU
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Weight of the tight rope walker is 150 pounds.
A tight rope walker located at a certain point deflects the rope as shown in given figure:
Calculation:
Let the trensions in string be
And the tension in tightrope walker is
Also,
Also,
For the static equilibrium sum of all forces should be 0.
Solving for
Hence, the tensions in the two cables is
