Determine the tension developed in each cord and max mass of the lamp

Determine the tension developed in each cord
required for equilibrium of the 20-kg lamp.
Determine the maximum mass of the lamp that the
cord system can support so that no single cord develops a
tension exceeding 400 N.

Your videos are amazing and are really helping me understand this concept, please dont stop making these videos.

Awesome, thanks for the video. It is very helpful!

I really want to know why just we don't substitute for each cable as max tension and get a bigger mass ?

Your videos are great keep it up. Also you should advise the students who watch you video to watch at least 30 seconds of the advertisements that are attached so you can get more add revenue.

Thanks sir

[@TheHdz2011]

is your notation off? When your doing about point D, sum of forces in Y it reads as DE BUT in sum of forces for X you do CD, shouldnt it be DC? indicating D to C? since its about point D

[@Kangsaroo]

That's correct, but tension in both directions/at both ends is the same. So sometimes it helps to write them both the same so that you know you can equate them :)
