 A monkey is hanging from a rope and spies a banana

A monkey is hanging from a rope and spies a banana hanging from a tree. It swing towards it and grabs it, but the banana doesn't come free right away. If the monkey weighs 100 N and the rope makes an angle of 30 degrees with the vertical, then what force does the banana apply to the monkey to cause it to be momentarily in equilibrium? You must show your work to get full credit. Make sure to draw a free body diagram and a coordinate system! Hint- first sum the forces in the vertical direction to find the tension in terms of the weight and the angle
