Question Image
Consider the equilibrium of point D :
 Fx=0, or T1sin45T2sin60=0  ….(i)
And   Fy=0, or T1cos45+T2cos60=250 …..(ii)
From (i), we have  T2=T1sin45sin60
Now from (ii),  T1cos45+T1sin45sin60×cos60=250
  or T12+T12×13=250 or T1=224.4 N
and  T2=T1sin45sin60=224.4×(12)(32)=183.01 N
Consider the equilibrium of point  :
   Fx=0; or T2sin60+T3sin30T4=0 ….(i)
and    Fy=0; or T2cos30T2cos30200=0….(ii)

From (ii),  T3cos30183.01×12200=0
or  T3=336.60 N
From equation (i),  T4=255.81 N
