You really should show attempts at problem-solving in your question but I will try to guide you with the kind of thinking you can do to help yourself with other problems. Think of the case where X and Y are the same point and angle-A is zero; then the load on each would be half of Z. Then think of X and Y forming a straight line with no sag; the load would be infinite. In between, the load varies inversely with sine. For the Y-hang, the angle(s) that X and Y have [downward] is $(90-frac{A}{2})$ and they each share half the load so I believe the load would be

$$Z=frac{1}{2}*frac{L}{sin(90-frac{A}{2})}$$

For the variation, the load is just going over a pully so X would feel the full force (L).
