The required concepts to solve the problem are tension, force and vectors.
First, form an equation for force in the vertical and horizontal direction. Solving these equations will give the tensions in the ropes.
By forming the equation for force in the horizontal direction, find the tension in the second rope. Substituting this tension in the equation of force in the vertical direction, the largest mass the ropes can support can be found.
From the given forces, find the angle made by the unknown force. Then find the unknown force using the given forces. By forming the equation of force in the vertical and horizontal direction, the accelerations can be found.
A vector is a physical quantity with both magnitude and direction. The main examples of vectors are force and velocity. A vector can be resolved into components. If the angle made by the vector is with respect to the horizontal, then the horizontal component of the vector is the component and the vertical component of the vector is the component.
Force is the product of mass and acceleration. Tension is the state of being stretched tight. Force is given as
Here, is the mass and is the acceleration.
The resultant of two vectors is given as
(A)
Along the horizontal direction, the net force is,
Here, is the force in the horizontal direction and is the tension of rope 1.
As there is no net force in the horizontal direction, the force is zero.
So, the tension in the first rope is,

Along the vertical direction, the net force is,
Here, is the force in the horizontal direction and is the tension of second rope.
As there is no net force in the vertical direction, the force is zero.
So, the tension in the first rope is,
