A rectangular advertising board of mass

50\,\text{kg}

is supported by two light ropes that lie in the same vertical plane. One rope is inclined at

45^{\circ}

to the horizontal, while the other is inclined at

60^{\circ}

to the horizontal on the opposite side. Determine the tension in each rope, assuming the board is in equilibrium. (Take

g = 9.8\,\text{m\,s}^{-2}
