Finding Tension Force in a Metal Stick Connected to the Ceiling

[Jorgen1224]

Homework Statement

There is a metal stick that is connected to the ceiling with another one. The angle between them is 60°. Calculate the tension force of the bottom one.

Homework Equations

T = f N
or actually none, except trygonometry

The Attempt at a Solution

[/B]
I tried using this equation T = f N and convert it somehow, but i bet that trygonometry is strictly required here, but i don't really know how to use it. So I'm asking for any tips that could help me out.

I see that if we cut this structure in a half then we have 2 equal rectangular triangles with angles: 30, 60 and 90. And i don't really know what am i supposed to do next
Sorry for inaccuracies, because scientific english is quite new for me.

That's a rather inadequate description. I would assume that the upper stick is freely jointed where it attaches to the ceiling, and where it attaches to the lower stick, and similarly where the lower stick attaches to the floor, directly under the ceiling attachment.
Further, that the two sticks are uniform and have the same weight.

Draw a separate free body diagram for each stick, consider the forces that act on it, and write out the corresponding statics equations (force and torque balances).
