Step 1
First, we need to analyze the forces acting on the bar ABC. There are three forces acting on it: the 200-lb weight, the reaction force at A, and the reaction force at C. Show more…

The mass of the crane's boom is 9000 kg. Its weight acts at G. The sum of the moments about P due to the boom's weight, the force exerted at B by the cable AB, and the force exerted at C by the cable AC is zero. Assume that the tensions in cables AB and AC are equal. Determine the tension in the cables.
