A heavy crate is suspended from two ropes as it is lowered from a high shelf to the floor at a constant speed. One of the ropes makes an angle of 26.5 degrees with respect to the vertical and has a tension of 653 N, while the other makes an angle of 31.5 with respect to the vertical. What is the crate's mass in kg?
