Answer to Problem 29E

760 pounds and 761 pounds

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Total weight of performer and unicyclist = 155 pound

The figure representing the data of an unicyclist performing on a tightrope at a circus is shown below.

  Advanced Mathematical Concepts: Precalculus with Applications, Student Edition, Chapter 8.5, Problem 29E

Calculation:

Analyze either side of the unicyclist as shown below.

  F1cos174.5°+F2cos6.2°=0                                           ... (1)F1sin174.5°+F2sin6.2°155=0                                           ... (2)

Solve equation (1) as shown below.

  F1cos174.5°+F2cos6.2°=0F2cos6.2°=F1cos174.5°F2=F1(cos174.5°cos6.2°)                                       ...(3)

Substitute the value of F2 in equation (2) and solve F1 as shown below.

  F1sin174.5°+(F1(cos174.5°cos6.2°))sin6.2°155=0F1sin174.5°F1(cos174.5°)(tan6.2°)155=0F1[sin174.5°(cos174.5°)(tan6.2°)]=155F1=155sin174.5°(cos174.5°)(tan6.2°)=760 pounds

Substitute the value of F1 in equation (3) and solve F2 as shown below.

  F2=F1(cos174.5°cos6.2°)=(760 pounds)(cos174.5°cos6.2°)761 pounds

Thus the magnitude of tension (in pounds) that is being exerted on each part of cable is 760 and 761.
