The tension in both cables are calculated as; T₁ = 127.63 N and T₂ = 185.48 N

<h3>How to find the Tension in Suspended Cables?</h3>

Resolving forces in the y direction gives us;

T₁ sin 29° + T₂ sin 53° = 210 ------(eq 1)

Resolving forces in the horizontal direction gives;

T₁ cos 29° = T₂ cos 53° ----(eq 2)

T₁ = T₂ cos 53°/cos 29°

Thus;

(T₂ cos 53°/cos 29°)sin 29° + T₂ sin 53° = 210

0.3336T₂ + 0.7986T₂ = 210

T₂ = 210/1.1322

T₂ = 185.48 N

Thus;

T₁ = 185.48 cos 53°/cos 29°

T₁ = 127.63 N
