A 80kg man is hanging from two 1.5m ropes that lie at 60 degrees from the horizontal. What is the tension in each rope required to prevent the man from dropping?

The man is 80kg so the downward force exerted by his weight is 80g (where g is the force of gravity equalling 9.8 Newtons (2dp)). Therefore the upward force exerted by each rope must equal 40g. Using tri...

A line has Cartesian equations x−p = (y+2)/q = 3−z and a plane has equation r ∙ [1,−1,−2] = −3. In the case where the angle θ between the line and the plane satisfies sin⁡θ=1/√6 and the line intersects the plane at z = 0. Find p and q.

This question gives hints as to how you should solve it. Because it tells you the angle between the line and the plane, this should indicate that doing something to do with finding the angle between the l...
