A steel beam is suspended from two ropes as it is lifted to the top of a building at a constant speed. One of the ropes makes an angle of 27.1 degrees with respect to the vertical and has a tension of 711 N, while the other makes an angle of 25.7 with respect to the vertical. What is the beam's mass in kg?
