Abbot and Costello are transporting a 0.125m3cubic block along a ramp inclined at 20°. They tied the block under the midpoint of a 3m, 2kg, pole-arm. Abbot is at the lower end of the pole while Costello leads the pair up, holding the other end of the pole. Calculate the upward forces exerted by Abbot and Costello during the transport if the block weighs 1000N.
