Question
A 4.25 kg box is suspended from a system of massless wires attached to a ceiling. The first wire makes an angle of ?1=60.8∘ with the ceiling, whereas the second wire makes an angle of ?2=42.6∘ with the ceiling. Determine the magnitudes of tension in the first and second wires; T1 and T2 respectively.
