Problem

A rectangular advertising board of mass 50 kg50\,\text{kg} is supported by two light ropes that lie in the same vertical plane. One rope is inclined at 45∘45^{\circ} to the horizontal, while the other is inclined at 60∘60^{\circ} to the horizontal on the opposite side. Determine the tension in each rope, assuming the board is in equilibrium. (Take g=9.8 m s−2g = 9.8\,\text{m\,s}^{-2}.)
