The two angled ropes are used to support the crate in the picture. The sum of the tension in the ropes can have any value up to 1500 N. When the tension in the ropes exceeds 1500 N the rope will break. What is the largest mass the ropes can support?

The largest mass is 170.7 Kg.

Explanation:

Given that,

Tension = 1500 N

We need to calculate the tension in the rope

Using balance equation

Put the value into the formula

If

We need to calculate the largest mass

Using balance equation

Hence, The largest mass is 170.7 Kg.
