A box of mass 35 kg hangs motionless from two ropes, as shown in the diagram above. The angle α is 34 degrees. Choose the box as the system. The x-axis runs to the right, the y-axis runs up, and the z-axis is out of the page.

What is the x-component of the force on the block due to rope 2?

What is the x-component of the force on the block due to rope 1?

help i can't figure out how to get these two i got the
y-component of the gravitational force acting on the block which is -343N
y-component of the force on the block due to rope 2 which is 343N
and the maginitude of F2 which is 413.7N
pleasee help!

Can you post the figure, and the FBD that you've drawn?
