(30%) Problem 2
A utility pole is supporting a cable with a tension force of 250 lb., directed at a 15° angle from a
horizontal reference. Draw FBD and determine the support reactions developed at the base of the
pole at A due to the cable force (show point of application, magnitude, sense, and direction). The
support at A is considered fixed ($A_x$, $A_y$, $M_A$).
