Two cables are fastened to the ceiling and a 100 kg weight is suspended from them in such a way that the left cable makes an angle of 30° with the ceiling while the right cable makes an angle of 45° with the ceiling. Draw out a picture of the scenario, a free-body diagram, and compute the magnitudes of the tensions (forces) in each cable.
