### Problem Description:A wrecking ball is suspended below two cables, each at an angle with the horizontal. The left cable has tension \( T1 \) and forms an angle \( α \) of 42 degrees with the horizontal. The right cable has tension \( T2 \) and forms an angle \( β \) of 26 degrees with the horizontal. The wrecking ball has a mass of 120 kg.**Objective:**Find the magnitude of tension \( T1 \).### Detailed Diagram Explanation:The diagram illustrates a rectangular structure from which a wrecking ball is suspended. Two cables attach the wrecking ball to the rectangular structure, one on the left and one on the right. - The left cable makes an angle \( \alpha \) of 42 degrees with the horizontal and has a tension represented by \( \overrightarrow{T1} \).- The right cable makes an angle \( \beta \) of 26 degrees with the horizontal and has a tension represented by \( \overrightarrow{T2} \).### Key Elements in the Diagram:1. **Rectangular Structure:** - The point of attachment for both cables.2. **Cables:** - Left Cable (\( \overrightarrow{T1} \)) forms an angle \( \alpha \) (42 degrees) with the horizontal. - Right Cable (\( \overrightarrow{T2} \)) forms an angle \( \beta \) (26 degrees) with the horizontal.3. **Wrecking Ball:** - Mass of 120 kg.### Required Calculation:To find the magnitude of tension \( T1 \):1. **Identify Forces:** - The gravitational force acting downward on the wrecking ball: \( F_g = m \cdot g \), where \( m \) is 120 kg and \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²). \[ F_g = 120 \, \text{kg} \times 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 = 1176 \, \text{N} \]2. **Establish Equilibrium Conditions:** - For horizontal components: \(\sum F_x = T1 \cos(\alpha) - T2 \cos(\beta) = 0\) - For vertical components: \(\sum F_y = T
