If you lift a 1,000 pound load with two slings bridled at 30 degrees from horizontal (See Image), what is the resultant force imposed upon each of the two slings when the load is lifted? (For purposes of our QOTD ignore any additional stresses due to initially overcoming inertia and / or wind loading, etcetera)
