Finding W1 & W2 Given Frictionless Pulley System

[mrdoods]

In the figure shown the pulley are frictionless and the system hangs at equilibrium. If w3, the weight of the object on the right is 200N, what are the values of w1 and w2?

2.Relevant questions.
how to get the two weight.

3.The attempt at a solution.
T1sin50+T2sin35-W1=0
T1(0.766)+T2(-0.422)-W1=0
?

hi mrdoods! welcome to pf!

(try using the X₂ icon just above the Reply box )

T1sin50+T2sin35-W1=0
T1(0.766)+T2(-0.422)-W1=0

(i think you have your 1 2 and 3 mixed up )

why are you using sin ?

and you have two unknowns, so won't you need another equation also?
