Two squirrels are sitting on the rope as shown. The squirrel at
A has a weight of 1.2 lb. The squirrel at B found less food this
season and has a weight of 1.05 lb. The angles and are
equal to 40.5° and 48.6° respectively. Determine the tension
force in each of the rope segments (T₁ in segment AC, T₂ in
segment AB, and T3 in segment BD) as well as the angle a in
degrees.
