(b) Figure below shows the top of a flagpole.
The flagpole is held vertical by two ropes. The first of these ropes has a
tension in it of 100 N and is at an angle of 60 o to the flagpole. The other
rope has a tension T, as shown.
The resultant force is down the pole and of magnitude 200 N.
In the space below, using a scale of 1 cm = 20 N, draw a scale drawing to
find the value of the tension T. Clearly label 100 N, 200 N, and T on your
drawing.
