A rope hangs between two cliffs, edge A and edge B. There is a 250 kg hiker sliding across and is closer to edge A than edge B. The angles that the ropes make below the horizontal are 35° below edge A and 65° below
edge B. What is the Tension in both ropes?

1655.5 N

Explanation:

We resolve the forces on the rope into horizontal and vertical components. Since the only vertical force exerted on the rope is the weight of the man, this weight equals the vertical components of the tensions on both sides of the rope .

The only horizontal forces acting on the rope are horizontal components of both tensions on both sides. Since the hiker doesn't move sideways, they cancel out and he is balanced. So, the net horizontal force is zero.

Let T be the tension in the rope. So, each vertical component on side A is Tsin35° and that on side B is Tsin65°. Let the weight of the man be W = mg where m = mass of hiker = 250 kg and g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s².

So, since the hiker balances, Tsin35° + Tsin65° = mg

0.5736T + 0.9063T = 250 kg × 9.8 m/s²

1.4799T = 2450 N

dividing both sides by 1.4799, we have

T = 2450 N/1.4799

T = 1655.52 N

T ≅ 1655.5 N

So, the tension in the rope equals T = 1655.5 N

the following is queen elizabeth’s purposes:

- to encourage the parliament that the technique of picking successors to the seat based merely on birthright needs to be reviewed.

- (not) to convince the parliament that her kid should not be measured as a likely choice for heir to the english power.

- to persuade the parliament that merely since she has a child does not assure that the kid will be a capable leader.

- to sway the parliament how shattering it could be if they proceeded discourteously concerning her or her child.
