And whats the question exactly? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just posted a screen shot

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you write the question?

It involves a diagram as well which I've posted a screenshot of but sure here The diagram shows three particles A, B and C hanging freely in equilibrium, each being attached to the end of a string. The other ends of the three strings are tied together and are at the point X. The strings carrying A and C pass over smooth fixed horizontal pegs P1 and P2 respectively. The weights of A, B and C are 5.5 N, 7.3 N and W N respectively, and the angle P1XP2 is a right angle. Find the angle AP1X and the value of W.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

since the system is in equilibrium, we would have to ascertain the sum of the sin and cos parts to cancel them out
