resubmission since I typed the first question wrong: A 600 kg piano is being lowered into position by a crane while two people steady it with ropes pulling to the sides. Bob's rope pulls to the left, 17 degrees below the horizontal, with 420 N of tension. Ellen's rope pulls toward the right, 29 degrees below the horizontal. What tension must Ellen maintain in her rope to keep the piano descending vertically at a constant speed? Express your answer in newtons.   What is the tension in the vertical main cable supporting the piano?
