Consider a mass hanging from a combination of one thin string (top-left) and two thick strings in the configuration shown in the figure. Assume that the thin string is the easiest to snap (break). This occurs when the tension in the thin string, T reaches that string's breaking tension of 122 N. Calculate the maximum mass, m, that can be supported by this configuration of strings. You may assume that the other two thick strings are substantially stronger than the thin string, and so the thin string will break first. 60 T T 50 T3 m Image size: S M L Max Please enter a numerical answer below.
