    The tension in each of the ropes will thus depend on the angle to which the other rope is attached to the cargo... which means you haven't provided enough information for this problem to have a single solution. Could you post it with that information?

    Also, this problem requires you to make use of breaking forces into components; one vertical and one horizontal. Do you think you can already break the tension in the ropes into those components?
