Determine the force exerted on th mass in direction of wire

Reference no: EM13315712

a 150 kg mass is suspended by wires from two hooks. the lengths of the wires have been adjusted so that the wires are each 50º from horizontal. assume that the mass of the wires is negligible.

a) two hoops support the mass equally so the vertical component of force exerted by either hook will be equal to the force result ion from 75 kg being acted on gravity. calculate this vertical component of force,
ƒ_v on the right hook. express you result in newtons.

b) compute the horizontal component of force ƒ_h by using the result obtained in part (a) and trigonometry.

c) determine the force exerted on th mass in the direction of the wire F_R (equal to the tension in the wire

d)if you moved the hooks farther apart to reduce the angel from 50º to 30º would the tension in the wires increase or decrease? why?
