Split the system first. Divide the weight based on the distance from the center of mass for a uniform solid. For each part of the system the force downward will be the the partial weight.
Next, (this is easy if the ropes are vertical) you find the force on each rope by using trigonometry. The force on the ropes will be the hypotenuses of the triangle formed by the downward force and its angle.
Notice that, as the angles (θ and θ') of the ropes approach 0° (horizontal), the force on the rope approaches infinity.

How can we calculate the weight of iron plates?
If actually weighing the plates is impractical, you could try hanging the plates from a spring, and testing to find the spring's k value, and recording the displacement of the object while hanging from the spring, and use that to calculate the force on the plate, which equals mg. if the density is known, you could immerse the plates in something to find their volume and then calculate their weight from that. or, you could try and pull them with a force meter, taking two data points so that you can solve for the both the friction coefficient and weight.
What is the maximum pull ropes to used to pull top liner over the arches?
four
What muscles are made like ropes?
Muscles are like ropes in a way that muscles can only pull (contract) not push. Think of a rope you can grab the rope and pull it
Do they have to weigh you when you rock climb?
Nobody gets weighed to climb. Almost anyone who can pull their weight can climb. Basically, the ropes used are strong enough to hold your weight if you can hold your weight. Obviously if one is too heavy to lift themselves; they won't be doing much climbing. There is always bouldering, which almost anyone can do. Bouldering is low to the ground and doesn't require ropes, just a 'crash' pad to fall on.

What ropes do you pull Anikas Odyssey?
im sorry i dont know thats why im asking you
Why does rope unwind For example if there are two ropes that are twisted together WHY do they unwind again?
Basic answer is that when twisting two ropes together you are causing tension in the fibers of the ropes as they bend around each other. If you don't secure both ends of the two ropes the tension will pull the ropes back to their relaxed state. Think of stretching out and wrapping a rubber band around your finger.
What is the weight of a kilogram on earth?
To calculate the weight of something you must multiply it's mass by the strength of the gravitational pull it experiences. So on earth this pull g, is 9.81ms-2 so 1kg weighs 1 x 9.81 = 9.81N N stands for newtons which is a unit of force as weight is a force.
What are 2 ways to pass the rockies in a covered wagon?
1. use ropes to pull the wagon. 2. use 12 oxen to pull the wagon.
