+If a sign were hung like the one above, what would the tension forces acting on both of the ropes?
 ==== Setup ====
+To solve for the force of tension in both rope 1 and 2, both forces have to broken down into their x and y components and then solve the resulting system of equations.
 === Facts ====
-  *
+  *The system is stationary
+  *Gravity works in the negative y direction, with $g=9.81m/s^{2}$
+  *There are two forces of tension, on for rope 1, and one for rope 2
+  *Mass of the object?
+  *Angles of the ropes?
 === Lacking ===
-  *
+  *Either force of tension of the ropes
 === Approximations & Assumptions ===
-   *
+   *The lengths of the two ropes is irrelevant, only the angle matters to solve for the two forces
+   *The net force is zero since the system is stationary
 === Representations ===
-  *
+  *I have a drawing but I'm having a hard time adding pictures
