I double checked about that and I was told it doesn't move. However I was able to solve for tension at s=3.5 drawing a vertical line creating 2 right triangles. now my final issue is how do I write the tension in terms of S? please help. my time limit for this is getting down to the wire

Thanlk you for the welcome! I can certainly agree with that. could you please show me how I would get the equations for this? I need to get an understanding because I also need to enter this into MATLAB once I solve it.

Member ABC is supported by a pin and bracket at C and by an inextensible cable of length L  7.8 m that is attached at A and B and passes over a frictionless pulley at D. Assuming P  450 N and   35 and neglecting the mass of ABC and the radius of the pulley, simplify the problem as much as...
