A block with a mass of 12.4 kg is hanging by two strings that are firmly attached to the ceiling. The strings have no significant mass of their own. The string on the left makes an angle of 55.0° with the ceiling. The string on the right has a tension of 105.5 N. (a) What is the tension in the string on the left? (b) What angle does the string on the right make with the ceiling?
