By using Lami's theorem, Mass m = 1.75 kg approximately
Given that a strong weightless rope has a mass, m, hanging from the middle of it. If the tension force on each rope is 25 N, and the rope droops at an angle of 20.0 degrees to the horizontal.
By using Lami's theorem, we can get how much mass is hanging from the rope.
Let the angle between the rope = α = 180 - 40
α = 140 degrees
The angle between one of the rope and mass = β = 20 + 90
β = 110 degrees
The angle between the mass and the other rope = γ = 360 - (140 + 110)
γ = 360 - 250
γ = 110 degrees
W/ sinα = T/ sinβ = T/sinγ
W/ sinα = T/ sinβ
Substitute all the necessary parameters
W/sin140 = 25/sin 110
W / 0.643 = 25 / 0.939
W = 17.1 N
Weight W = mg
17.1 = 9.8m
mass m = 17.1/9.8
Mass m = 1.7455 kg
Mass m = 1.75 kg approximately
Therefore, 1.75 kg mass is hanging from the rope.
