A particle P of mass 1.05 kg is attached to one end of each of two light inextensible strings, of lengths 2.6 m and 1.25 m. The other ends of the strings are attached to fixed points A and B, which are at the same horizontal level. P hangs in equilibrium at a point 1 m below the level of A and B (see diagram). Find the tensions in the strings.
