   1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
   NUMBER 271
   
   
   2. Relevant equations
   Not Really Sure
   
   3. The attempt at a solution
   No Idea where to start, I looked up the law of Tangents and it seems to do with that. Please help! :)
   I am also confident that it has to do with equilibrium?
