2081 KartikChapter 2: Forces Acting on Particle and Rigid Body2.2 Resolution and Composition of Forces
The beam OA carries a load P and is supported by two cables as shown. Knowing that the tension in cable AB is 732 N and that the resultant of the load P and of the forces exerted at A by the two cables must be directed along OA, determine the tension in cable AC, resultant and the load P.
[IMAGE: A 3D figure with x, y and z axes. Beam OA lies along the x direction from O to A, with load P acting at A. Cable AB runs from A to support B and cable AC runs from A to support C. Dimensions marked: 580 mm, 500 mm, 860 mm and 720 mm [unclear which dimension belongs to which segment].]
