T2 T1 2 0, crate A supply crate is dropped from an airplane to the survivors of a devastating hurricane. For safety purposes, the crate has two parachutes which deploy from and keep the crate falling at a constant and vertical velocity. The parachutes make upward angles 61 = 35.0° and 62 = 48.0° with the horizontal. If the tension in the parachute making angle 61 is T1 = 142 N, what must the mass of %3D the crate be?
