Step 1
The sum of the forces in the x and y directions should be equal to zero. Let's denote the tension in cable AC as T1 and in cable BC as T2. The angle between the horizontal line and cable AC is α, and the angle between the horizontal line and cable BC is β. From Show more…

Two cables tied together at $C$ are loaded as shown. Knowing that the maximum allowable tension in each cable is $800 \mathrm{N}$, determine (a) the magnitude of the largest force $\mathbf{P}$ that can be applied at $C,(b)$ the cor responding value of $\alpha$ The end of the coaxial cable $A E$ is attached to the pole $A B$, which is strengthened by the guy wires $A C$ and $A D$. Knowing that the tension in wire $A C$ is 120 Ib, determine (a) the components of the force exerted by this wire on the pole, ( $b$ ) the angles $\theta_{\text {s. }}, \theta_{y},$ and $\theta$, that the force forms with the coordinate axes.

Two cables tied together at C are loaded as shown. We know that the maximum allowable tension is 1200 N in cable AC and 600 N in cable BC. If the maximum allowable tensions of the two cables are reached at the same time, determine (a) the magnitude of the largest force P that can be applied, (b) the corresponding value of θ.

A $50-$ lb weight is hung by a cable so that the two portions of the cable make angles of $40^{\circ}$ and $53^{\circ},$ respectively, with the horizontal. Find the magnitudes of the forces of tension $\mathrm{T}_{1}$ and $\mathrm{T}_{2}$ in the cables if the resultant force acting on the object is zero. (Round to two decimal places.)
