Question

Unless otherwise stated, all objects are located near the Earth's surface, where g = 9.80 m/s2. To haul a boat out of the water for the winter, a worker at the storage facility uses a wide strap with cables operating at the same angle (measured from the horizontal) on either side of the boat(Figure 1)

Part A

Determine the tension in each cable if the boat has a mass of 540kg and the angle of each cable is 41? from the horizontal and the boat is being momentarily held at rest. Compare this to the tension when the boat is raised and held at rest so the angle becomes 32?.

Express your answers using two significant figures separated by a comma.

Explanation / Answer

for 41 dgree tension = 4.0 KN

for 32 degree tension = 5.0 KN
