A block of mass M = 15.0 kg is suspended at rest by two strings attached to walls, as shown in the figure. The left string is horizontal and the right string makes an angle θ = 50.0° with the horizontal. What is the tension in the left string? (Assume the ring where the strings come together is massless.)
