Newton's Laws. I have a solution for this but I think I would benefit from another answer.

The block shown below is hanging such that the left side rope makes a 50 degree angle with the ceiling as shown. If the tension in the left side rope is 34N, and the tension in the right side rope is 24N, what is the mass of the hanging object? Assume that the ropes are massless.

You can try it similar to how i did this one: http://openstudy.com/study#/updates/580ecdd2e4b075d6916efd17 My response at the very bottom. You have some different unknowns, but the approach is the same.
