Transcribed Image Text:

A box of mass M = 55.4kg is supported in equilibrium against gravity by three ropes which are all in the xz-plane. The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8m/s. Rope 1 pulls upwards and to right. It exerts a force of magnitude T = 123N, which makes an angle of 28.9 with the positive x-axis. Rope 2 pulls upward and to the right also. It exerts a force of magnitude T = 262N, which makes an angle of 52.5 with the positive x-axis. Rope 3 pulls with an unknown tension T3 and makes an unknown angle with the positive x-axis. (The input below will accept answers with no more than 1% variation from the correct value.) What is the magnitude T3 of the force exerted by Rope 3?
