A 1.29 kg ball is connected by means of two ideal strings to a horizontal, rotating rod. The strings are tied to the rod and are taut. The right string is 28.0 cm long and has a tension of 32.5 N, and it makes an angle θ 2 = 52.0° with the rod, while the left string makes an angle θ 1 = 61.0° angle with the rod. At the instant shown the ball is at its lowest point. (a) What is the tension in the left-hand string?
