Answer:

Following are the solution to this question:

Explanation:

Law:

[tex]\to \theta= 180^{\circ}- 50^{\circ}- 25^{\circ}[/tex]

      [tex]= 180^{\circ}- 75^{\circ}\\\\= 105^{\circ}[/tex]

[tex]\to \frac{T_{L}}{\sin (90+50)}= \frac{T_{R}}{\sin (25+90)}=\frac{1400}{\sin (105)}[/tex]

[tex]\to T_L=931.65 \ pounds \\\\ \to T_R=1313.59 \ pounds \\\\[/tex]
