Expert Solution

Step 1

In free body diagram body is freed from all nearby contacts and only forces are drawn on body.

Here three forces are acting on body:-1. Gravitational force (vertically downward)

2. T₁=Tension in cable 1 (Along the length of string away from body)

3.T₂=Tension in cable 2 (Along the length of string away from body)
