A and B are fixed points of a vertical wall with A vertically above B. A particle P of mass 0.7 kg is attached to A by a light inextensible string of length 3 m. P is also attached to B by a light inextensible string of length 2.5 m. P is maintained in equilibrium at a distance of 2.4 m from the wall by a horizontal force of magnitude 10 N acting on P (see diagram). Both strings are taut, and the 10 N force acts in the plane APB which is perpendicular to the wall. Find the tensions in the strings.
