Rigging Calculations

[EBB]

So I am being asked to hang some equipment on truss that is supposed to be set up at an angle in the air with a number of fixtures on it. It's all going to be way under the motor's weight amount. But I was wondering if anyone could tell me how you calculate weight distributions at angles. For future reference.
