That is kind of complicated, but this can't be the first tension problem you've ever been given. You MUST have some idea how to at least start.

he said I have to sketch the structure then draw FBD's then contruct set of rectangular axis... I really can't understand what he said...

If you don't understand FBD's or resolving vectors into components, then either i) you haven't been paying attention for a few weeks, or ii) your instructor is way out of line in assigning this problem to you and I would complain about it. You chose. Don't PM me again about stuff like this, ok?
