Expert Solution
Step 1

Given Forces 

F1=50.0NF2=95.0N

as we can see from the figure that the force F1 is in the negative x direction and the Force F2 is in negative y direction.

And the x component of the force T will be Tx=Tcosθ in positive x direction 

and y component of the force T will be Ty=Tsinθ in positive y direction
