Hello physicsuck

What are your thoughts on this?

For a problem like this, it is always a good idea to start with some free-body diagrams.

hi ap123,
I tackled the y components of this system but not sure how to deal with the x one.

When you draw your diagrams, make sure to put x- and y-axes in.
Then resolve your vectors along these axes.

Show us what you've done so far.
