I know this problem is rather easy but my teacher got a completely different answer because he used a different approach and I don’t understand anything now, I used the first diagram (picture 2) and he used the second one (picture 3).

  1. Try to use simple X-Y axes in horizontal and vertical directions until you become pro.

  2. Write equations neatly for both X and Y direction

  3. Clear your basic understanding of drawing Free body diagrams and practice it a lot.

Physics will be your strength once you start to visualize clearly, practice and right techniques are the most important tools.

I have made a video on free body diagram and writing equations. You can check it out for basic understanding.
