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 25.2 degrees with respect to the vertical and has a tension of 722 N, while the other makes an angle of 29.5 with respect to the vertical. What is the beam's mass in kg?

Jamal and Dayo are lifting a large chest, weighing 207 lb, by using the two rope handles attached to either side. As they lift and hold it up so that it is motionless, each handle makes a different angle with respect to the vertical side of the chest (Fig. P5.76). If the angle between Jamals handle and the vertical side is 25.0 and the angle between Dayos handle and the vertical side of the chest is 30.0, what are the tensions in each handle? FIGURE P5.76
