A man drags a 68.0-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 23.5° above the horizontal, and the strap is inclined 55.0° above the horizontal. The center of gravity of the crate coincides with its geometrical center, as indicated in the drawing. Find the magnitude of the tension in the strap.

I got the answers 221.85, 361.96. 941.56. but they are all incorrect. Not sure what I am doing wrong in my arithmetic.

Not sure either. Are we on a ramp?
