2T= N/sint

2T=20/0.5
2T=40
T=40/2
T=20

Or you can just say
Tsin30+ Tsin30=20
T0.5+T0.5=20
T1=20
T=20

The answer is wrong the correct answer is 20 N
°​Vertical component for one string = TsinO
since they are two string the total upward force will be =2×TsinO

2×Tsin30=20 N
so T=20N
The app's marked answer of 40.0 N is a common error found in some test banks. It happens if you forget that there are two strings sharing the load. If you only had one string pulling at 30° to support 20N, then T would indeed be 40N. But with two strings, the workload is split in half.

sin30=20/T; T=40N
