The document presents the solution to determining cable tensions (T1, T3, R) given that T3=980N. It sets up the force equations and direction vectors for three cable tensions (T1, T2, T3) and resultant force (R). It then solves the system of equations to find that T1=1258.126N, T3=980N (given), and R=1555.88N.
