Hi, I am having a seemingly hard time trying to find the tension in this rope. I've looked everywhere for a problem with these given variables but I found none. Here we are given: T1, T1 angle, mass of man and that is all. I included the picture here.

The Attempt at a Solution


I found, t1y, which is the same as t2y, and mg, but given this information, I can't discover the force in tension 2. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I included a picture of the problem.

What are t1 and t2? What do you mean with "I found, t1y, which is the same as t2y, and mg"? Write it mathematically.
And what about the x components of the tensions?
