Homework Statement
Find the tensions T1 and T2. The 18 kg mass is at rest. T1 is attached to a vertical wall horizontally and T2 is attached to a horizontal wall vertically with T1 at and angle of 50 degree from the ceiling.
Homework Equations
Sum of all forces x
T2-T1cos(theta)=0
T1sin(theta)-mg=0
The Attempt at a Solution
T2=m(g)+tan(theta) = 177.2 N for T2 and that is not the right answer. Any thing wrong with my equations?
