A 114 kg man balances on a rope between two walls.
Each half of the rope makes a different angle relative to horizontal as shown.
In this case, angle θL = 71 degrees while angle θR = 25 degrees.
(A) What is the tension in the left side of the rope?
(B) What is the tension in the right side of the rope?

1)
the y forces accumulated in both ropes equals the mans weight
2) 
Use sine-cosine to find the relationship
3)
The x forces in the ropes are equal (but opposite)
