A 75-kg crane is suspended through a frictionless pulley to a massless pole at two points, each point is an end of two cables, and the left cable has an angle to the pole of 25 degrees while that of the right angle has an angle of 15 degrees. Each cable passes over a frictionless pulley. What is the tension force of the left cable? What is the tension force of the right cable?
