Answer

$T_1 = 86.6~N$ $T_2 = 50.0~N$

Work Step by Step

The vertical component of $T_3$ is equal in magnitude to $T_2$. We can find the magnitude of $T_2$. $T_2 = T_3~sin(\theta)$ $T_2 = (100~N)~sin(30^{\circ})$ $T_2 = 50.0~N$ The horizontal component of $T_3$ is equal in magnitude to $T_1$. We can find the magnitude of $T_1$. $T_1 = T_3~cos(\theta)$ $T_1 = (100~N)~cos(30^{\circ})$ $T_1 = 86.6~N$
