    Find load P supported by cables at 25° and 55° angles with 1860 N load Q

    What I did was split the problem into two separate summations based on x & y coordinates: Tcos(25) - Tcos(55) - Px = 0 Tsin(25+Tsin(55) +Py - Q = 0, Where Q = 1860 I initially got an answer of 2391N, but it keeps marking me wrong for said answer. This is the free body diagram, (the previous...
