A block having a mass of m = 19.5 kg is suspended via two cables as shown in the figure. The angles shown in the figure are as follows: α = 12° and β = 35°. We will label the tension in Cable 1 as T1 and the tension in Cable 2 as T2

a)Write an expression for the sum of forces in the x direction in terms of T1, T2, mgα, and β. Use the specified coordinate system. 

b)Write an expression for the sum of forces in the y direction in terms of T1, T2, mgα, and β. Use the specified coordinate system. 

c)Solve for the numeric value of T1, in newtons. 

d)Solve for the numeric value of T2,in newtons
