Welcome to PhysicsForums. :smile:

Per the PF rules, you are required to show your attempt at the solution before we can offer any tutorial help. Please post your Free Body Diagram (FBD) and show us the equations you get for the equilibrium of that FBD. Thank you.
 
The FBD is the key to this problem.
 
After further discussion and consideration, I withdraw this post. Tom.G

I think there is a lot of obfuscation and/or distraction in the wording of the problem.
How much of the given information is needed to find the answer?

Just what part of the problem statement did you think was unnecessary? It all looks significant to me.
