The other ends of the strings are tied together at a point \(A\). The strings are in equilibrium with two of them passing over fixed smooth horizontal pegs, and with the particles hanging freely. The weights of the particles, and the angles between the sloping parts of the strings and the vertical, are as shown in the diagram. Find the values of \(W _ { 1 }\) and \(W _ { 2 }\).
