i really need help with this question. it would be greatly appreciated:

a large promotional ballon is threated to the top of a building by two guy wires attached 20cm appart. if the buoyant force of the ballon is 850N and the two wires make 58 and gg angles with the horizonal, what is the tension force of each wire?

What is "gg"?

This is not a calculus problem.

Draw a free-body diagram of the balloon - and use equation For static equilibrium (Newton's first law).

Please show us your work, indicating exactly where you are stuck - so that we may know where to begin to help you.
