Chapter 1, Problem 26(choose chapter or problem)
A 50 lb sandbag is suspended by two ropes. Suppose that a three-dimensional coordinate system is introduced so that the sandbag is at the origin and the ropes are anchored at the points (0, 2, 1) and (0, 2, 1). (a) Assuming that the force due to gravity points parallel to the vector (0, 0,1), give a vector F that describes this gravitational force. (b) Now, use vectors to describe the forces along each of the two ropes. Use symmetry considerations and draw a figure of the situation.
