How to Calculate Tension of Two Ropes Holding a Load

This video will show you how to calculate the tension in two ropes holding up a load. This problem requires that we set up the y components of the force vectors equal to zero and the x components of the force vectors equal to zero. We will then have two equations with two unknowns. We will finally need to use algebra to solve for the tensions.
