Homework Statement
Two cables are attached to a 16.00 kg mass, or 160 N (Our teacher told us to use 10 for gravity). The angle between the cable on the left and the ceiling is 48 degrees. The angle between the cable on the right and the ceiling is 22 degrees. Calculate the tension in the cable on the left if the system is at rest. Calculate the tension in the cable on the right if the system is at rest.
I have been absent from class, so I can't really attempt at a solution. Any help would be appreciated.
