8 A crate, of mass 200 kg , is initially at rest on a rough horizontal surface. A smooth ring is attached to the crate. A light inextensible rope is passed through the ring, and each end of the rope is attached to a tractor. The lower part of the rope is horizontal and the upper part is at an angle of \(20 ^ { \circ }\) to the horizontal, as shown in the diagram.

The coefficient of friction between the crate and the surface is 0.4 . Assume that the tension, \(T\) newtons, is the same in both parts of the rope.

1. Draw and label a diagram to show the forces acting on the crate.
2. Express the normal reaction between the surface and the crate in terms of \(T\).
3. Find \(T\).
