The system that you describe is said to be statically indeterminate since, there are more than 2 wires (minimum required to support the cement bag with inclined support).There are three unknowns in the system that is the tensile forces in the wires. You should use three equations as follows to solve this.Vertical equilibrium: Sum of vertical components of tension in all wires is equal to the weight of 380NHorizontal equilibrium: Sum of horizontal components of tension in all wires add to zerCompatibility condition: The vertical component of elongation of all wires is the same.Formulate the three equations and solve the algebraic equation to get the tension in each wire.
Newtons is a measurement of force, and kilograms measures mass. In order to convert between the two you need some form of acceleration. Using Newtons law (F=ma) and assuming you are using gravity on earth, you would multiply 150 kg by 9.81 m/s^2 to get the force in Newtons.
380 newtons is about 85.4 pounds force.
There are infinitely many possible rules. The following rule gives the next number as 13. Un = (-25n3 + 195n2 - 380n + 228)/6 for n = 1, 2, 3, ...

Any two numbers that you choose can be the next number. It is easy to find a rule based on a polynomial of order 6 such that the first five numbers are as listed in the question followed by the chosen next two numbers. There are also non-polynomial solutions. Short of reading the mind of the person who posed the question, there is no way of determining which of the infinitely many solutions is the "correct" one.One possible rule for the given numbers, based on a polynomial of order 4, ist(n) = (5n^4 - 58n^3 + 235n^2 - 380n + 213)/3 for n = 1, 2, 3, ...and, accordingly, the next two numbers in the sequence are 115 and 393.But it would be easy to find a rule so that the next two were 4 and 6, for example.
