To find the tensions in the strings supporting a body of mass \( m \) suspended at angles \( \alpha \) and \( \beta \) with the horizontal, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Forces**: The body is in equilibrium, meaning the net force acting on it is zero. The forces acting on the body are: - The weight of the body, \( W = mg \) (acting downwards). - The tensions in the two strings, \( T_1 \) and \( T_2 \). ...
