Newton’s second law in component form

Solve the previous problem quantitatively using Newton’s second law.

Problem - 6 - Three ropes pull on a knot shown in Figure P3.6a. The knot is not accelerating. A partially completed force diagram for the knot is shown in Figure P3.6b. Use qualitative reasoning (no math) to determine the magnitudes of the forces that ropes 2 and 3 exert on the knot. Explain in words how you arrived at your answers.
