After a skiing accident, your leg is in a cast and supported in a traction device, as shown in Figure 6-27. Find the magnitude of the force F exerted by the leg on the small pulley. (By Newton's third law, the small pulley exerts an equal and opposite force on the leg.) Let the mass m be 4.00 kg, and the angle be 31.0°.

I could probably help with this question, but you need to put fig. 6.27 where I can see it. In the meantime, maybe this earlier answer of mine may be of assistance to you (provided the diagram link is still available):
