A spider is hanging from silk strands, as shown in the figure. The force of gravity on the spider is 0.158 N and is directed downward, and the two tension forces are directed as shown, so that the resultant force
on the intersection point of the three strands is zero. The angle between the strands with tensions I, and T, is 90°, and T, = 0.144 N. (Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values
in your calculations-including answers submitted in WebAssign.)
(a) What is T, (in N)?

(b) What is the angle between the x-axis in the figure and the horizontal? (Enter the smallest positive angle in degrees.)
(c) What is the angle between the y-axis in the figure and the horizontal? (Enter the smallest positive angle in degrees.)
