I'm working on this hanging sign problem:
A sign hangs precariously from your prof's office door. Calculate the magnitude of the tension in string 1, if θ1 = 27.42°, θ2 = 67.35°, and the mass of the sign is 9.9 kg.
I was wondering if I could put 9.9*9.8 as a leg in the middle of the triangle to calculate the tension on the two strings. The only given hint is to calculate components.
