**Homework: Burning Building, Part 1 - FBD**

*Please answer the following question(s):*

The diagram illustrates a scenario where a person is being rescued from a burning building. The person is being pulled at an angle from the building by a rescuer, as depicted in the figure.

- **Forces shown in the figure:**
  - \( T_1 \): The tension force at an angle of 15° from the vertical, directed upwards along the rope.
  - \( T_2 \): The tension force at an angle of 10° from the horizontal, directed towards the rescuer.
  - \( W \): The weight of the person, acting vertically downward.

A person is being pulled away from a burning building as shown in the figure above.

**Instructions for Constructing a Free-Body Diagram**

1. **Drag and Drop:** 
   - Move the heads and tails of the vectors to construct the free-body diagram.

2. **Note on Angles:**
   - Angles may deviate within ±15°, and magnitudes are not considered.

**Elements of the Diagram:**

- **Vectors:**
  - \( T_1; 0^\circ \): Represented as a horizontal arrow pointing to the right with a circular arrow indicating direction.
  - \( T_2; 0^\circ \): Another horizontal arrow pointing to the right, similar to \( T_1 \).
  - \( mg; 0^\circ \): Also a horizontal arrow pointing to the right.

- **Central Object:**
  - A gray circle with a blue dot in the center, indicating the object on which the forces act.

- **Coordinate Axes:**
  - A y-axis pointing upwards and an x-axis pointing to the right, representing the coordinate system for vector orientation and measurement.
