Help with this physics problem please?

A car is connected to a tree by a length of rope tied tightly. A 115 pound woman steps in the middle of the rope causing it to deflect by 15 degrees. What are the forces applied to the rope? What is the sum of the x's? What is the sum of the y's the force applied to the car and the force applied to the tree ?

Thank you!

    If you draw this out in free body diagram, and treat the women as a point weight, then you'll see a small V shape. You could take this V shape and decompose the vector in both side. Remember her weight is distributed straight down the center but only half her weight is going to left hand x and other half right hand x. same goes for left hand y and right hand y, Hope this helps.
