A rigging job calls for lifting a structure that weighs 150 tons. Two cranes are available, one with a rated capacity of 85 tons and the other with a rated capacity of 120 tons. The total weight of the rigging required to make the lift is 15 tons, of which 10 tons is to be carried by the larger craneand 5 tons is to be carried by the smaller crane. If the cranes are to be loaded in proportion to their net capacities, what should be the approximate net load on the 120-ton crane?
