Question: Two identical strings making an angle of = 2 7 . 3 with respect to the vertical support a block of mass m = 2

Two identical strings making an angle of =27.3 with respect to the vertical support a block of mass m=22.2kg(see the figure below). What is the tension in each of the strings? (Enter your answer in N.)
If the two strings had not made the same angle on opposite sides of the vertical, their tensions would have to be different and both the x- and y-components of Newton's second law would have been used to find them. N
