Homework Statement


Using the uploaded picture we have to have a force diagram. And we have to break angled forces into components and indicate which forces are equal with equality. All the masses are up to me (2, 3, 4, 5 kgs)

Homework Equations


Write an equation for the vertical forces
Write an equation for the horizontal forces
Determine the tension I hope someone can help me I am seriously confused!

Start with free-body diagrams for each of the nodes.
You also need to write down the other constraints on the system - what you have written is incomplete.
i.e. if the masses are up to you, then imagine the far right mass is 1000000kg and all the rest are 1g.
