Two ropes in a vertical plane exert equal magnitude forces on a hanging weight but pull with an angle of 86...?

Two ropes in a vertical plane exert equal magnitude forces on a hanging weight but pull with an angle of 86 degrees between them. What pull does each one exert if their resultant pull is 332 N directly upward?

    Summation of vertical force = ΣF = 0

    332 - Tcos 43 - Tcos 43 = 0

    2Tcos43 = 332

    T = 332/(2*cos 43)

    T = 227 N

    Hope this helps.
