A box of mass m = 5.0 kg hangs motionless from a system of strings. The masses of the strings can be neglected compared to the mass of the box. The tension in the horizontal string 2, which is fastened to the vertical wall, is one- half the tension in string 1, which makes an angle to the horizontal and is fastened to the top horizontal wall. What is the tension in string 1? If needed, use g = 9.81 m/s². 1 5.0 kg 2 A box of mass m = 5.0 kg hangs motionless from a system of strings.
