For this example, I want to use a pendant light stabilized by three cables. The angles look about equal. Can I still use this? Please help with the free$-$body diagram.

Find a real$-$world problem relating to Chapter $2$ and Chapter $3$ of the statics textbook, covering forces acting on a particle.

b$.)$ Do a free$-$body diagram.

c$.)$ List your assumptions $($for example the angles, also make an educated guess on the values of some of the forces, so you make the calculations$).$

d$.)$ Then find the forces that act on your particle, then calculate the resultant force.

e$.)$ Show your calculations, then write up a small conclusion.

Please help I will upvote. The FBD and weight is supposed to be assumptions, so the values are flexible.
