The tension in rope B is determined as 46.17 N.

Tension in rope A

Tension in rope A is the resultant tension of the rope B and C.

T(C) = T(B) = T

where;

  • T(C) is tension in rope C
  • T(B) is tension in rope B

T² + T² = 65.3²

2T² = 4,264.09

T² = 4,264.09/2

T² = 2,132.045

T = √2,132.045

T = 46.17 N

Thus, the tension in rope B is determined as 46.17 N.
