Step 1
We have a column with two guy wires, AB and BC, attached at point B. The tension in wire AB is given as 10 kN. The problem states that the sum of the tension forces in AB and BC, acting on the column at B, is vertical. We need to find the magnitude of this sum. Show more…

The cable stays AB and AD help support pole AC. Knowing that the tension is 120 lb in AB and 40 lb in AD, determine graphically the magnitude and direction of the resultant of the forces exerted by the stays at A using (a) the parallelogram law, (b) the triangle rule.

The tension in the supporting cable AB is 10 kN. Write the force which the cable exerts on the boom BC as a vector T. Determine the angles θ_x, θ_y, and θ_z which the line of action of T forms with the positive x-, y-, and z-axes.
