Problem: A 900 N sign hangs from two chains. Chain 1 makes \(30^\circ\) with the horizontal on the left, chain 2 makes \(45^\circ\) with the horizontal on the right. The chain forces together must equal 900 N upward. Find the force in each chain.
What this problem relies on
Split a force into components along any two given directions, and see why oblique components are not projections.
