A40 lb box is suspended from two ropes which each make an angle of 45 degrees with the vertical. what is the tension (in pounds) on each rope?

The tension on each rope is 28.28 lb

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight = 40 lb

Angle = 45°

We need to calculate the tension on each rope

Considering the symmetry of the system, the tension of each rope must be same

So,

Put the value into the formula

Hence, The tension on each rope is 28.28 lb.

pe = weightxheight = 2000x1000=2,000,000joules
