Homework Statement
You have three strings holding a 20kg weight, all tied to a ceiling above the weight, one centered right above the weight, the other two tied to the string at equal angles. What is the tension in each of the cables
Homework Equations
Fnet=0
The Attempt at a Solution
Tension 1 (x)= T1 cos theta
Tension 1 (y)= -T1sin theta -n
Tension 2 (x)= 0
Tension 2 (y)=mg+T2-n
Tension 3 (x)= -T3cos theta
Tension 3 (y)= -T3sin theta -n
I really don't know if this is right, and what in the world the angle would be, i need help. Thanks
