Hi reposting the answer twice plz:
 
After doing components of Tension of each string U would get,
600sin(thetha1) + 600sin(thetha2) = W
We have to find W that is weight of the bucket.
thetha1 = arccos(1.5/2.5) = > arccos(3/5) = 53 degree.
thetha2 = arcsin(3/4.5) => arcsin(2/3) = > 42 degree.
Hence,
W = 600*4/5 + 600*2/3 = > 480 + 400 => 880N
Mass = 88 kg.
