A particle \(P\) of mass 1.05 kg is attached to one end of each of two light inextensible strings, of lengths 2.6 m and 1.25 m . The other ends of the strings are attached to fixed points \(A\) and \(B\), which are at the same horizontal level. \(P\) hangs in equilibrium at a point 1 m below the level of \(A\) and \(B\) (see diagram). Find the tensions in the strings.
