Question Title: Chapter 2, Reserve Problem 2/011
Using the principles of equilibrium to be developed in Chapter 3, you will soon be able to verify
that the tension in cable AB is 85.8% of the weight of the cylinder of mass m, while the tension
in cable AC is 55.5% of the suspended weight. Write each tension force acting on point A as a
vector if the mass m is 60 kg.
