How to calculate forces of three ropes pulling in different directions

This engineering statics tutorial goes over a 2D example involving a rope system that is suspending a weight in static equilibrium. We determine the internal force (tension) in each rope in the system by drawing and appropriate free body diagrams of the small ring that they are all in contact with.
