Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the left string node

sum vertical forces to zero

T₁cos35 - 40 = 0

T₁ = 40/cos35 = 48.83 N

Sum horizontal forces to zero

T₂ - T₁sin35 = 0

T₂ = 48.83sin35 = 28.01 N

Now consider the right string node

Sum horizontal forces to zero

T₃sinθ - T₂ = 0

Τ₃ = T₂/sinθ

sum vertical forces to zero

T₃cosθ - 50 = 0

(T₂/sinθ)cosθ = 50

T₂cotθ = 50

cotθ = 50/28.01

θ = 29.256067...°

θ = 29°

Τ₃ = T₂/sinθ

Τ₃ = 28.01/sin29.256067

Τ₃ = 57.3102...

Τ₃ = 57 N
