This is a theoretical solution to OpenStax University Physics Volume 1, Chapter 6, Problem 25, using the current online statement. The model neglects the seat and rope masses and treats the two supporting ropes as sharing the load equally at the stated angle. Use g = 9.80 m/s². The values are calculated, not measured.
