Homework Statement
This is originally from a physics problem but it's more of a math question. How do I solve for theta?
Homework Equations
400 - Tcos(theta) = 0
-200 + Tsin(theta) = 0
Using those equations, I need to solve for theta. Also, knowing that tan(theta) = sin(theta)/cos(theta) is supposed to be relevant to this.
The Attempt at a Solution
All I did was simplify the equations to 200 - Tcos(theta) + Tsin(theta) = 0
Not sure if that was a good idea or not but I'm suck.
