Expert Solution

Step 1

Lami's Theorem says that "When three forces acted at a point and which are in equilibrium with respect to a point of intersection, then each force is proportional to the sine angle between the other two forces."

$\frac{T_{1}}{\sin θ_{1}} = \frac{T_{2}}{\sin θ_{2}} = \frac{T_{3}}{\sin θ_{3}}$
