A piece of art weighing 30 pounds is hung from two wires as shown below. Each wire is supporting half of the weight of the picture. However, since the wires extend out at an angle, they are also imparting force towards the left and right. Therefore, the force on each wire is greater than 15 pounds. Look at the diagram above with the vectors. Use trigonometry to find ||→ux||and ||→vx||.

Question

A piece of art weighing 30 pounds is hung from two wires as shown below. Each wire is supporting half of the weight of the picture. However, since the wires extend out at an angle, they are also imparting force towards the left and right. Therefore, the force on each wire is greater than 15 pounds. Look at the diagram above with the vectors. Use trigonometry to find ||→ux||and ||→vx||. 
||→ux||=_____  pounds    ||→vx||= _______ pounds    
What is the total force (in pounds) exerted on each wire?
||→u||= ______pounds    ||→v||= ______ pounds   ​​​​
