    You have totally misread Q3

    The block is on a horizontal surface .... the Force is at an angle

    Q6

    You need to resolve horizontally and vertically

    When you resolve horizontally you will have

    5 + TCosA = TSinA

    You seem to have ignored tension in one part of the string

    Ohhh! but can i just ask ... what does 60 degrees to the vertical for a force look like??
    I just can't draw a diagram...
    Will it just be 30 degrees from the horizontal??
