Need to prove my teacher wrong on this test question

In summary, the conversation is about finding the force exerted by a 1.50 kg wine bottle on each side of a wine rack that forms a 30 degree angle. The teacher believes that F1 is equal to 25.46 Newtons and F2 is equal to 29.4 Newtons. The expert advises the person to ask for clarification and guidance instead of trying to prove the teacher wrong.
