Free Body Diagram Help


1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
Well the problem I have with physic is the free body diagrams. The book gives examples of those easy ones where a book slides across the table and such. This problem has me kind of confused on how to draw it.

You guys can go to this link for the problem:

2. Relevant equations
Well I know the equilibrium will result in Fx and Fy = 0. So I just need help with setting up the problem.


3. The attempt at a solution
The tensions in all the strings seem to be the same. Hmm does anyone know if any good free-body diagram website that involves drawing complex problems like this?

Here's my go at the free-body diagram. I think the only relevant part is the foot.
