Answer:
T = 292.4 N
Explanation:
For this exercise we must use the translational equilibrium condition
∑ F = 0
Since force is a vector magnitude, the easiest way
Since the angle between the two forces is 140, the angle from the vertical is half tea = 70
cos θ = T_y / T
sin θ = Tₓ / T
T_y = T cos 70
Tₓ = T sin 70
X axis
Tₓ₁-Tₓ₂ = 0
Tₓ₁ = Tₓ₂
Y axis
T_y + T_y - W = 0
2 T cos 70 = W
T = [tex]\frac{W}{2 \ cos 70}[/tex]
let's calculate
T = 200/2 cos 70
T = 292.4 N
