Two cranes are lifting an object that weighs 18,278 lbThe figure shows the two cranes holding the object in the airIf you imagine the box's top is a line parallel to the ground, the left crane's wire forms a 22.3 degree angle with this lineThe crane on the right forms a 41.5 degree angle with the lineFind the tensions T1 and T2My answer is T1 1.525E4 and T2 3.021E3, if you have a different answer please explain.
18278 lb 8308.2 kg mg 8308.2 x 9.8 81420.36 N left T1 22.3 right T2 41.5 T1 81420.36/(sin(22.3) + (cos(22.3)/cos(41.5)) x sin(41.5)) 67962.86 N 6.796E4 T2 67962.86 x (cos(22.3)/cos(41.5)) 83956.76 N 8.396E4 The above is taking the angles from horizontal.
