A crane suspends a 800-lb steel beam horizontally by support cables (with negligible weight) attached from a hook to each end of the beam. The support cables each make an angle of 60° with the beam. Find the tension vector in each support cable and the magnitude of each tension. (Let T₁ and T₂ be the tension vectors of the left and right cables, respectively. Round all numerical values to two decimal places.) 60° 60° Ⓡ

A crane suspends a 800-lb steel beam horizontally by support cables (with negligible weight) attached from a hook to each end of the beam. The support cables each make an angle of 60° with the beam. Find the tension vector in each support cable and the magnitude
of each tension. (Let T₁ and T₂ be the tension vectors of the left and right cables, respectively. Round all numerical values to two decimal places.)
T₁ =
