Homework Statement
Please see attached photos. I've been drawing and re-drawing diagrams but I'm at a loss. For part a, I've tried a right triangle using the top cable as the hypotenuse. I've tried the force equation (ƩF=ma) but I don't think that's right. I just can't get a start.
Homework Equations
See attached photo with help describing situation. Note also the angle ∅ has been changed from the book's problem from 65 to 55 degrees.
The Attempt at a Solution
I've started a diagram but I do not know what formulas to use for the math.
If you could walk me through the problem that would be great! I have an exam coming up in two days and have no other help in between.
