    Is this correct? (spider web tension question)

    A spider builds its web in a window frame that is lying on the ground. It is supported by four main strands. Calculate the force of tension in strand 4 assuming the web is stable. The tensions in the other three strands are as follows: strand 1: 21 mN (20 degrees East of North) strand 2: 16 mN...
