A 853 N magician (note: this is weight, not mass) is freeing himself from some shackles while suspended above a swimming pool filled with alligators. Two ropes are suspending the magician. The left rope makes an angle of 42 above the horizontal and points up and to the left. The right rope makes an angle of 78 above the horizontal and points up and to the right. Calculate the tension in the left rope, in N.

- 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?
