CH#2 Vectors and Equilibrium ( Balochistan textbook board )

A traffic light hangs from a cable tied to two other Cables fastened to a support as in figure. The upper cables make angles of 45° with the horizontal. These upper cables are not as strong as the vertical cable and will break if the tension in them exceeds 130 N. find the weight of the traffic light to keep the system in equilibrium.
