Example of Statics

[Tright cos(55o) / cos(30o)] sin(30o) +

Tright sin(55o) = 100 Nt

This is now one equation for one unknown (Tright), so we have: Tright =

100 Nt / [cos(55o)*sin(30o)/cos(30o) + sin(55o)] = 86.93 Nt.

We now use Tleft = Tright cos(55o) / cos(30o)

to get Tleft = 86.93 Nt * cos(55o) / cos(30o) = 57.58 Nt.
