Rope Holding Sphere in Place

A sphere of mass M M and radius R R is held statically in place on a ramp by a rope pulling in the direction of the vector v = ( 1 , 2 ) \vec{v} = (1,2) . The anchor point for the rope is diametrically across from the contact point between the sphere and the ramp.

The ramp makes an angle θ \theta with the horizontal, and there is a friction force between the sphere and the ramp surface.

If T T , N N , and F F are the magnitudes of the rope tension, the normal reaction force at the ramp, and the friction force at the ramp, determine T + N + F T + N + F .

Details and Assumptions:
- Downward gravity g = 10 m/s 2 g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2
- M = 50 kg M = 50 \, \text{kg}
- R = 1 m R = 1 \, \text{m}
- θ = π 6 rad \theta = \large{\frac{\pi}{6}} \, \text{rad}


The answer is 625.269.
