Mass Supported by Tension of Two Symmetric Wires
Requires a Wolfram Notebook System
Interact on desktop, mobile and cloud with the free Wolfram Player or other Wolfram Language products.
This Demonstration shows the force required to hold up an object connected to two supporting wires against the force of gravity. The mass is supported by the tension of the wires. Try increasing the angle to see how the force to hold up the mass varies.
