Homework Statement


In the diagram above, the horizontal force, F, holds the ball steady. The value of the force is F = 9.5 N, and theta = 10°.


Calculate the mass of the ball.


What is the tension in the string?


Homework Equations


?


The Attempt at a Solution


I drew a free body diagram. The ball had 3 forces acting on it. Fg, F and Ft.
how do I find the mass? Then I'll be fine to find the tension.
