A container being lowered from a crane is held in place by a light steel cable that makes an angle of 58.0° from the vertical and a horizontal synthetic cable. If the container has a mass m = 4520 kg, determine
a) The tension T₁ in the slanted cable.
b) The tension T₂ in the horizontal cable.

• A. T₁ = 4.43 × 10⁴ N; T₂ = 2.35 × 10⁴ N
• B. T₁ = 5.62 × 10⁴ N; T₂ = 2.98 × 10⁴ N
• C. T₁ = 4.43 × 10⁴ N; T₂ = 3.76 × 10⁴ N
• D. T₁ = 8.36 × 10⁴ N; T₂ = 7.09 × 10⁴ N

Answer: (D)
