Okay I worked it out again, I finally get to a point where a Angle C = something Angle A. This needs to be in a resting position and that is where my problem is. W1=350lbs W2=650lbs B=20Deg

This is not a homework problem! It has been so long since I did anything like that. I have T1x=T2x T1y+T3y+W1=0 T2y+T3y+w2=0 Then I get lost

I have a beam suspended by two cables with two weights suspended by the beam. The weight of the beam is negligible. How would I find the resting angles of the cables.
