Homework Statement
A sign hangs precariously from your prof's office door. Calculate the magnitude of the tension in string 1, if theta1 = 35.67°, theta2 = 62.43°, and the mass of the sign is 3.3 kg.
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
Ft1=cos35.67t1 + cos117.57t2=0
Fxt1=0.57t2
Fyt2=sin35.67(0.5t2)+sin117.57t2=-32.34(from gravity and mass of sigh)
in the end it gave me t2= 27.5 and t1= 15.675
... which was wrong
What do I need to do
