A man drags a 71-kg crate across the floor at a constant velocity by pulling on a strap attached to the bottom of the crate. The crate is tilted 25∘ above the horizontal, and the strap is inclined 61∘ above the horizontal. The center of gravity of the crate coincides with its geomentrical center, as indicated in the figure. Find the magnitude of the tension in the strap.
